FIRST THINGS FIRST
GET CONNECTED
HEADPHONES
Make sure the connections to the ports in the back of
your console are tight and secure and that your bike
is connected to an outlet with the included AC adapter. To power on your Peloton bike, press and hold the
orange power button at the top of your touchscreen
for three seconds. Follow the onscreen instructions
to connect your bike to the Internet and set up your
account. In just moments, you’ll be ready to ride!
We encourage you to use headphones with a six-foot
cord or Bluetooth wireless headphones. This will allow
for proper movement on the bike. The Peloton bike
accepts any standard 3.5mm headphone jack. You may
adjust the volume using the buttons on the right-hand
side of the touchscreen.
CYCLING SHOES
You don’t have to log in and log out every time you ride
and you don’t need to power off the bike. Your bike will
sleep after about five minutes of inactivity. To wake it up,
just tap the orange power button at the top of your
touchscreen once. If you do shutdown, tap and hold the
power button for three seconds to turn it back on.
Your Peloton bike comes with LOOK Delta compatible pedals and one pair of LOOK Delta compatible
cleats that attach to the bottom of traditional
cycling shoes. We encourage you to use this system
to clip in to your Peloton bike. If you prefer a different
pedal system, you may easily replace them. For more
information and tips on cycling shoes, please visit
support.pelotoncycle.com.
IMPORTANT! It is unsafe to ride without
proper shoes. We strongly recommend that
you clip in with compatible bike shoes.

You can view your performance metrics, live
class schedule, and a lot more on our website. Log in
to pelotoncycle.com/login with the same username
(or email) and password you use to log in on the bike.

CLIPPING IN
2
To clip into the pedal, point your
foot slightly down and carefully
lock your cleat into the clip by
applying pressure as you pedal
down. The motion is similar to
putting on a pair of high-heeled
shoes or clipping into skis.
CLEATS, PEDALS,
& CLIPPING IN/OUT
CLEATS & PEDALS
Your bike comes with the standard
LOOK Delta compatible pedals
and cleats. We encourage you
to use these pedals and affix the
cleats to compatible bike shoes.
See the diagram below for
instructions on attaching your
cleats to your cycling shoes.

It’s also recommended that you
tighten your cleats on occasion,
as heavy use can loosen them. For
more information and helpful tips
on cleats and pedals, please search
for “pedals” on our support site at
support.pelotoncycle.com.
CLIPPING OUT
To clip out of your pedals, simply
rotate your ankle while keeping a
flat foot and swinging your heel
out, away from the bike. Clip out
one foot at a time, starting with the
foot at the top of the pedal stroke.
Then, step off the bike behind the
still clipped-in foot. Finally, while
standing, unclip your second foot
using the same rotating motion. It
might take a bit of practice to get it
right, but you’ll be a pro before you
know it!

GET TO KNOW
YOUR BIKE
THE RESISTANCE KNOB
Turning the resistance knob to the
right increases your resistance
and turning it to the left decreases
your resistance. When in class, you
will see the percent of resistance
applied reflected on your screen.
The bike is incredibly stable if you
set it up on a hard surface (hard
wood, tile, concrete, etc). There are
six stabilizers and it is important
that the four outermost stabilizers
are solidly touching the floor to
prevent the bike from rocking.
To adjust the stabilizers, turn each
one to the right to tighten away
from the floor and to the left to
extend the stabilizer down. These
are invaluable for uneven floors!
LEVERS
Make sure all levers are completely
tightened before you begin your
ride. Getting poked by the adjustment levers? Pull the levers out and
away from the bike and rotate them
to a neutral position that is out
of the way. We created this neat
lever system to give you maximum
leverage to tighten or loosen each
adjustment point and still keep
the lever out of your way while
you ride.
IMPORTANT! The resistance knob also acts as a brake. Push down
firmly on the knob to quickly stop the rotation of the flywheel.

SET THE SEAT DEPTH
Release the seat slider adjustment
lever by turning it to the left until
you can comfortably glide the seat
forward and backward. Adjust the
seat distance so that you have a
gentle bend in your elbows with
relaxed shoulders while seated
on the bike. You should never be
hunched over, nor should you be
hyperextended.

SETTINGS
SET THE SEAT HEIGHT
Release the seat post adjustment
lever by turning it to the left until
you can comfortably glide the seat
post up and down.
Bring your bike seat (saddle) to
the height of your hip. Turn the
lever all the way to the right to
firmly tighten. Note the number
on the seat post as this will be
your seat height.
When clipped in and seated on
the bike, you should have only a
10
slight bend in your knee. Your leg
should never be hyperextended at
any point in the pedal stroke.
SET THE HANDLEBAR HEIGHT
We recommend setting your
handlebars so that they are as high
as your seat or slightly higher.
If you prefer a more relaxed ride,
try raising the handlebar height
until your torso is slightly more
upright. Personal injuries and level
of experience may determine the
height of your handlebars, so listen
to your body!
To raise the handlebars, release
the handlebar post adjustment
lever with one hand while holding
the handlebars in place with the
other. Then gently lift or lower the
handlebars, taking care to find the
optimal position.
You can also tilt the Peloton
touchscreen to achieve the best
viewing angle at all heights.
IMPORTANT! If you ever feel any pain, discomfort, or shortness of
breath, please stop riding and talk to a doctor. Riding the Peloton
bike should be an enjoyable and vigorous fitness experience.

MAINTENANCE & CARE
WARRANTY
AFTER EACH WORKOUT
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
LIMITED HOME USE WARRANTY*
It’s important to keep your bike
clean and dry. After each workout,
be sure to wipe your equipment
down with a damp cloth to remove
any sweat. Then, wipe thoroughly
dry.
After periods of heavy use, it’s wise
to check your seat and pedals for
a secure, tight fit.
Peloton extends the following exclusive, limited warranty, which shall apply only
to non-commercial, in-home, indoor use of the Peloton bike. Any other use of the
Peloton bike shall void this warranty.
To tighten your seat securely to the
seat slider, use the included socket
wrench to tighten the bolts on the
left and right underside of the seat.
While you’re at it, make sure your
seat is parallel to the ground for
maximum comfort.
Peloton hereby extends the following limited warranties for the following
components of the Peloton bike, for the time period indicated:
Occasionally, you may wish to
utilize a mild household cleaner
diluted in water for deeper cleaning. Glass cleaner is safe to use on
the glass portion of your Peloton
touchscreen for streak-free HD
video.
While the Peloton bike receives
a special rust prevention treatment,
the salt from repeated sweat can
be damaging to the equipment
over time. This simple care step
will greatly improve the life of your
Peloton bike.
To tighten your pedals, use the
included wrench to give a gentle
tug to each. Note that the left
pedal tightens when you use the
wrench to turn it left while the right
pedal tightens when you use the
wrench to turn it right.
Finally, if you are riding with clip-in
cycling shoes, it is also recommended that you tighten your
cleats on occasion as heavy use
can loosen them. For reference,
see page 6 in this guide.
