Also it's apparently rife with hackers so even if you wanted to be the very best bikie man you're not beating Randy from Pensacola who's outpacing Lance Armstrong.

Hundreds of thousands of dads, future dads, and dad-adjacents across Europe would go out and buy a VR cycling set that involved you racing against real-life cyclists, escaping from the peloton, climbing mountains, etc. I'd check it out and I'm not even particularly interested in cycling. I'm actually legitimately surprised something like this doesn't exist yet.

Why can't people sell just the subscription? Why there needs to be a bike attached to the deal? I imagine people would be interested in working out from home. You buy the subscription you want, purchase additional accessories that are required for the class (be it bike, barbells, whatever), done.

You buy the subscription you want, purchase additional accessories that are required for the class (be it bike, barbells, whatever), done. You can. Peloton people are really into the whole peloton brand thing. My old boss had three bikes, one for home, one he took with him since he worked across the country, and one for his wife. Dude would not shut up about Peloton. Also would not shut up about keto, I’ve noticed Peloton people are also usually really into keto.

There's already a couple of VR bikes, or rather bikes that ar emeant to used as a "controller" for bike games with VR. Most of them seem in various stages of vaporware.

The hardest difficulty setting would be 'Realistic', where you have to be an actual professional cyclist to keep up with the peloton. Zwift is a popular choice with cyclists during the cold season. It allows you to use your own bike and a number of compatible trainer units to provide resistance that changes based on your virtual route. It's not VR in that you don't have a helmet, but you are going on a virtual ride that simulates both real and imagined locations against others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBXnYW6yX_Q

Any naval officer in charge of a ship is referred to as captain. If he got promoted and kept his command post, his crew would still call him captain.
