Ever since Peloton introduced challenges, I’ve been doing them each month. There are lots of reasons to join one. It’s a great way to meet new people and make friends. Also, if you find your motivation to work out waning, being in a challenge can help. Finally, some of the Peloton challenges help you learn…
A reader recently reached out to ask if I had information about gyms with Peloton bikes. He’d read my articles on various Peloton hotels, vacation rentals with Peloton bikes and college towns with Pelotons. But, he explained, he likes to visit a “regular” gym when he travels for work so he can get his Peloton…
I’ve had readers reach out and ask for advice about maintaining a Peloton bike. Many had already read my article on how to clean a Peloton but they wanted more information. They wanted to know about things like maintenance of the pedals and if your Peloton bike needs a tune up and what you should…
When we were selling our home in New Jersey a few years ago, we had no idea that folks looking at our house were also interested in Peloton room ideas. How did we know this? Because we would come home from having a showing or an afternoon with an open house, and we would find…
The Spin Tray Laptop Tray for Peloton Bike transforms your Peloton from an exercise bike into an exercise desk. I use it to get in my miles while participating in Zoom calls or writing this blog. This is what it looks like on my bike. The folks at Top Form Design (TFD) make the Spin…
The Peloton warranty and protection plans have changed since we first used the Peloton warranty. That was in 2016 and within weeks of getting our bike. What happened? As my husband was unclipping from the pedals, his cleat got stuck and pulled off the bottom of his shoe. Then, the pedal broke off. We reached…
The folks at Top Form Design created the Pivot. It turns the screen on the original Peloton bike into one like the Bike Plus has. And that is, it allows it to turn from side to side or Pivot. You can buy the Pivot from Top Form Design on Amazon. There you can see all…
At one point or another, every Peloton owner is going to be like I am and need to do some cycle troubleshooting. The issues I’ve had with my Peloton, which I’ve owned since 2016, have run the gamut. Some of the issues I’ve faced included: Well, don’t worry. Because in this blog post I’m going…
When we first got our bike, there were no Peloton showrooms near me. At that time barely anyone even knew what a Peloton was–except for hardcore cyclists. To them a peloton (lowercase p) was a group of cyclists. Fast forward a few years and we moved to Western Pennsylvania, close to Pittsburgh. I was so…
Are you a procrastinator? And are looking for easy anniversary gifts you can buy at the last minute? In other words, who among us hasn’t put off buying a gift, be it a birthday present or last minute anniversary gift? I’ve been married for 30-plus years, and I know when my wedding anniversary is. But,…

My husband and I have bought and sold a number of homes but it wasn’t until we worked with a professional stager that we even knew how to put a rug under a bed. Sure, we had placed throw rugs next to our beds. However, to make a bedroom look magazine worthy, there were certain…
It’s been years since I originally created this recipe for DIY laundry detergent or thought about making homemade laundry detergent. It’s important to point out that my recipe is for a powder concentration, not liquid. Anyway, much like my DIY dishwasher detergent, I came up with this powdered version of laundry detergent for two reasons….
The first time my husband and I walked the High Line in NYC was right after the third section of this elevated public park opened. That was around 2014. We’d just dropped our younger daughter off for a college visit appointment and had a few hours to kill. So, we headed west, on foot, on…
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the expectation to tip at every turn? You’re not alone; many people are experiencing what is called tipping fatigue. This isn’t about being against tipping overall. It’s about the weariness that sets in when making purchases, whether in person or online through platforms like Stripe. Imagine the checkout clerk flipping…
These days, you’ll find Graduate Hotel locations in many collegiate places. That is, it is a relatively new chain of hotels that target college towns. Thus their name. Right now, there are more than three dozen locations, primarily in the United States. However, there are also Graduate Hotels in the United Kingdom. Also, I just…
For months I’d been reading Facebook posts about people getting a remote Peloton bike fitting. Most of the people doing these bike fit sessions were in the Power Zone Pack. They wanted to make sure they were in the best position possible on their Peloton for their power zone training and other classes. At $149.99…
My preferred way to shop is by giving my business to stores and brands that stand behind their products. This often comes to life with a lifetime guarantee or a limited lifetime warranty. Whatever it is called, it is smart to spend money when the company offers to fix or replace something that goes wrong….
