President Biden did bring a Peloton to the WH

My oldest child does an hour or so every day on his peloton. There were stories that President Biden would not be able to bring his peloton to the White House due to the WiFi connection. They evidenly solved this issue.



Can anyone imagine TFG on a peloton?

I thought the issue was security rather than bandwidth. Qutzupalotl Jun 2023 #6
Well, you don't need to connect the Peloton to the WiFi to use it. GoCubsGo Jun 2023 #7

No makeup. Hair in every which direction. Looking every minute and then some of his 76 years. Bleh!

A device such as a Peloton (or smart TV, or phone) could become a listening device for malicious actors.

I don't have a Peloton, but maybe it's possible to use the mechanical device for exercise without the spiffy videos…?

And, that was what was the hang-up over it. A Peloton is nothing but a fancy exercise cycle with a tablet connected to the handlebars, where you can stream spin classes on their app. That app. can be used with any spin cycle, and just about any computer, tablet, or smart phone. The whole discussion was much ado about nothing. Basically, Joe rides an exercise bike, watches TV while he does it, rather than streaming a class.
