Product Information

You might wonder if you need to get the same brand of exercise mat as your bike. While you could do this, you can usually just use any mat as long as the size is compatible. The Peloton Bike and the Peloton Bike+ are similar in footprint. The Peloton Bike+ is a tiny bit narrower, but most of the difference between the two bikes comes down to height. The Peloton Bike is 59 by 53 by 23 inches (length by height by width). The Peloton Bike+ is 59 by 59 by 22 inches (length by height by width). More Ways To Improve Your Peloton Experience Considering all the mats for exercise bikes on the hardwood and carpet have either plastic or rubber materials in them, a bit of odor shouldn’t be a surprise.

It also helps to protect your exercise machine from carpet fibers, which is important if you have the carpet floor. You could also put a carpet or any other type of soft material.

Most indoor cycle floor mats cost less than 20 dollars, making them a relatively inexpensive investment compared to the hundreds or thousands of dollars spent on the exercise bike. I tested each mat for their waterproofing and absorbency, how comfortable they feel, and how securely they stayed beneath heavy weight on a hardwood floor. This involved me laying each mat side by side and standing on each to determine which materials felt soft versus firm, and which felt comfortable and durable. I also put each mat down on hardwood floors and weighted each down at four points similar to the base of the Peloton, and then attempted to move the mat to determine its nonslip score. I factored in whether it had nonslip surfaces on both sides of the mat, as well. Lastly I put a few drops of water on each mat to see how well it absorbed over the course of 30 minutes. What are the dimensions of the Peloton Bike and the Peloton Bike+? If you have joined the ranks of the indoor zwift cycling warriors then then there are several important accessories that you will need in addition to your indoor exercise bike.

Cheaper still will be to use your existing outdoor bike connected to a bicycle trainer stand but if you want to connect this to Zwift and engage in virtual and interactive gamified cycling streamed through your TV, then you’ll need a speed and cadence sensor to attach to your bike and a Zwift account. Irrespective of whether you have an exercise bike or an outdoor bike with trainer stand, two vital accessories are a cooling cycling fan as it gets very hot when exercising hard indoors and an indoor cycling training mat.

When it comes to surface size, most mats are around 60-70cm wide, but the length can vary a lot, especially when it comes to yoga mats. Smaller mats are around 170cm long, which makes them more portable but might be too short for taller users, who’ll want a mat that’s over 180cm long.

Vibration is a problem when using exercise bikes, especially for heavier individuals. The movement during the exercise tends to create noise in the bike’s components, as well as vibration against floors. An stationary bike mat helps absorb the vibrations and minimize the noise. The exercise bike machine’s weight plus your own weight can be enough to sink into your carpet and wood floor ruining the surface. The vibration can also leave ugly scratches on your shinny floor. Additionally, your bike is vulnerable to vibration, dust and floor humidity.

The texture on these mats is intended for safety. Functionally, a texture or ribbing should keep the mat from slipping on the floor and your feet from slipping on the mat (assuming it is textured on both sides). If a mat fails to meet a solid standard of slip resistance then it opens the window for accidents when exercising that could be avoided. If there’s enough padding, your bike mat can work comfortably for yoga workouts. You might use the mat for other types of exercise equipment as well.
