Ride in the Peloton From Home

Peloton-BikeBeing able to go the distance in the peloton is what sets apart a rider, but now the Peloton Bike will allow riders of all levels to put in the miles and do so from the living room. This indoor cycling trainer delivers both live and on-demand indoor cycling classes, along with competition and even video chats.

The training bike is now being developed through a Kickstarter project, and the best part of about putting in the miles on this bike is that it means you’ll never be dropped by the group and have to ride home alone. Video after the jump

Exergy Tour Tracker App for Women’s Cycling Race

“On site during the event, spectators will also be able to watch the live Tour Tracker video simulcast on the big screens – allowing fans to watch start-to-finish coverage every day of the Tour whether they are at work, out and about, on the course or at the finish line.”
