The OG Peloton bike skyrocketed to popularity during the pandemic and has since become synonymous with the term exercise bike, a la Kleenex with facial tissues. That's not to say it's the only worthy exercise bike option on the market, but it is pretty dang great. That greatness comes at a very steep price, so when we see a discount on the flagship bike, we have to let the people know.

As of May 8, you can get the Mashable Choice Award-winning original Peloton bike for $1,145 at Amazon. That's $300 or 21% cheaper than usual and just $50 shy of its best price ever, which it reached during October Prime Day in 2023.

Unlike a typical indoor exercise bike, the Peloton features a large display and companion app so you can follow along in on-demand classes or pedal alongside others in live classes. As Mashable's reviewer wrote, "The workouts are tough, but the captivating experience and (practically) never-ending list of exercise classes are enough to make me want to glue myself to the seat and stay in the magical Peloton universe forever."

The bike itself takes up about the same amount of space as a small yoga mat, so you don't need a ton of square footage to start pedaling. It uses a resistance knob to adjust the tension, so you can manually choose to leisurely ride along flat roads or climb hills and mountains. And like any good exercise bike, everything can be adjusted to suit your comfort: the seat, handlebars, and even the screen itself.

Peloton bikes aren't cheap by any means, but as of May 8, you can invest in one for $300 less than usual. That makes the purchase a little more palatable.
