Spin Bike. Unbelievable how much my life has changed by being able to exercise while I take calls (at low speeds!), read, watch Netflix, etc.



Same for me. I found out at low speeds I can do creative work for 40 minutes, typing on my laptop. I need to take break then as I feel too tired (mentally and physically), but it feels great.


What’s your set up look like? Do you have a standing desk that somehow fits over top of the spin bike? I have a standing desk but it doesn’t go tall enough to fit over top.


I have to admit it's a bit clunky. I chose a model with a tablet holder that happens to be stable enough for my laptop and the handle bar tall enough for me to pedal while sitting straight. So far it's good enough.


Which one did you get? I just want a barebones one for exactly what you're saying.


I bought a Schwann IC4 (Same as IC8 in Europe) which has the build quality of the Peloton and I use my iPhone combined with Kinetic app in the background to get all the stats I want. It was on sale at Best Buy recently. By all means there are less expensive ones and if this hadn’t been on sale I would’ve probably gone for one cheaper. It was $999 Canadian. Good luck!
