Peloton Fit on Stands

Those looking for an iPad mount for their Peloton bike should check out the Abovetek mount. The Peloton handlebar is approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, which is too large for many other mounts of this type. The fastening strap easily and firmly fits the steering wheel and is easily adjustable. I put a bracket in the middle of the center bar so rider distance and viewing angles are good. We have two different sized iPads in keyboard cases that fit in the extension arms despite the extra thickness of the keyboards (when folded, of course). However, there are a few minor downsides to this setup: 1. Keyboard cases add quite a bit of weight to the iPad, so the Device allows the bracket to roll forward. For an iPad without a keyboard case, that wouldn't be a problem. 2. The installed iPad blocks captions and most readings when the rider is seated, although I can still see cadence and drag when leaning left and right. It's no problem if you drive out of the seat. Without a device in the mount, the screen is completely free. This is perfect as I don't plan on driving with an iPad and my wife will.

Pros
