Peloton Vs Schwinn Exercise Bike

The Schwinn IC800 features dual-sided pedals (SPD clips/toe cages), so if you have any cycling shoes lying around, you can use them for the IC800 workouts. Of course, the toe cage side of the pedals also allows you to use workout shoes for huffy beach cruiser pedalling, whichever you prefer. Having the ability to adjust some of the most important components of an indoor cycling bike can not only keep you comfortable for a longer period but can help you log more miles and meet new fitness goals.

The Schwinn IC4 comes with a small LCD display and it syncs to the device of your choice with a Bluetooth connection for use with the Peloton, Zwift, and Explore the World apps. Thanks to the LCD display, this bike can be used on its own without an app or connection to your device, a feature that we feel gives it a leg up on some of the connected/smart bike competition. When connected to an app, your huffy beach cruiser tablet or phone serve as a screen that displays the studio workout or interactive ride. As with all types of home gym equipment, there are a variety of indoor spin bikes available, and if you’re not exactly sure what you’re looking for, your options can be a little overwhelming. When riding on Zwift, your power will be estimated via the speed/cadence sensor in conjunction with the resistance level.

Of course, your power will therefore not increase to reflect added resistance, so unless you pedal harder and faster, the game will slow you down on your mph. However, from my experience, I was still going faster than most people on a smart turbo, by nature of easier pedalling.
