The Rise And Fall Of Peloton - The $50 Billion Fail

The Roadman Cycling Podcast

Peloton went from quarantine darling to Wall Street disaster in just a few short years. In this episode, we trace the company’s meteoric rise, the cult-like community it built, and the decisions that turned a $50 billion high-flyer into a cautionary tale. Was it hubris, bad leadership, shifting trends, or something baked into the business model from day one? We break down the key moments, the numbers behind the hype, and what Peloton’s story reveals about boom-and-bust culture in tech and fitness. Plus, we ask: is this really the end for Peloton, or just the next chapter after the crash.
