It makes for a perfectly functional TrainerRoad session, but realistically a less than optimal Zwift experience. The only difference is that instead of shifting you use the resistance knob. Practically speaking riding the Peloton bike for a TrainerRoad workout is not really any different than a non-smart trainer. So if I’m also keeping an eye on the kids at the same time as I’m doing a workout, then I’ll likely ride the Peloton bike. All the rest of my trainer/bike gear is at the office. At home I keep the Peloton bike in our living room, whereas I have a spare bike on a trainer in a shed thing. In fact, I’ve used it a number of times that way over the last 5 months. So to be able to re-use it for riding TrainerRoad or Zwift is handy for some folks. As I’ve heard from many of you, you might already have the Peloton bike in your home for its primary purpose (riding the Peloton app). To which I respond: Some idiot many years ago looked at a piece of horribly moldy cheese that might kill them and thought: I should eat that, maybe it’ll taste good!Īnd thus, we now have blue cheese and stinky fridges everywhere.Īctually, the answer is simple. In any case, the end resultant of loading Zwift or TrainerRoad on a Peloton bike is that you can ride Zwift or TrainerRoad on your Peloton screen. But then again, they technically void your warranty for changing out your pedals…so…shrug? Either way, you’re on your own.
To my knowledge, there is nothing here that ‘voids’ your Peloton warranty per se (at worst you simply reset your screen to defaults). Whereas if you come from the iOS world, you’ll probably scratch your head a few times but keep on chuggin’.

If you’re familiar with sideloading Android apps, then it’s trivial.

If you’re tech savvy, the overall install process is pretty easy – about 10-15 mins for TrainerRoad and 15-20 mins for Zwift. That’s because the Peloton bike actually supports connecting to ANT+ sensors. The good news is that you can use even crazy-old Vector 1 or Favero BePro pedals if you can find them on eBay or something. I can’t get around that (and nobody to my knowledge has). Now, the only ‘bad news’: You’ll need power meter pedals to make this work. Both are technically easy to load, but Zwift was much trickier to sort out all the nuanced steps. While the concept of loading apps like Netflix on a Peloton bike is hardly new ( with much of it documented on Reddit), loading TrainerRoad or Zwift specifically is relatively unheard of. But enough people asked about my random Instagram stories using it for Zwift and TrainerRoad, that I figured I’d write it up into something semi-cohesive. This post started almost 100% for my own reference as a simple notepad file.
