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.

Ben Healy joins us to unpack a whirlwind season—how he leveled up for 2025, the tactics that win races, and the truth behind that Tour de France stage (6:24). We dig into pacing by science vs. feel, aero testing, and the one thing pros can really get in trouble over. Ben weighs in on Worlds 2025, air pollution, Pogacar & Remco, and whether Remco’s saddle actually dropped. He shares how the peloton treats him now, sprint plans, race-weight strategy, and the back-room team that makes it all work.

Lachlan Morton joins me to share why he stepped out of the WorldTour peloton to ride his own path—swapping podiums for gravel, bikepacking, and real adventure. We dig into joy over metrics, why enjoyment is essential for long-term participation, and how performance culture can overshadow the ride. Lachlan talks ultra cycling resilience, the camaraderie of bikepacking, and how filming can distort authenticity. We cover navigation as a superpower, the tech that actually helps route finding, and why training should stay fun—not overstructured. From exploring new routes to tackling endurance events, Lachlan’s focus is clear: ride for meaning, community, and discovery.
