Some people are jailbreaking their Peloton stationary bikes to use the attached tablets for purposes other than what the company intended, like watching Netflix. Others are seemingly hacking the exercise bikes to artificially log impressive race times and shoot to the top of the service's leaderboard rankings. The practice illustrates how people are finding ways to use products outside the traditional business model of Peloton, which relies on subscription fees for its software.

My 'hack:' Get an exercise bike for one-fiftieth the price of the Peloton. Attach an LCD TV with Amazon Firestick or Roku. Orient assembly to face colorful Rocky Mountain mural on basement wall. Use it for a week and then discover it's a great thing to hang laundry on.
