One Reddit user noted that the top seven riders in a class on Dec. 23, 2018 posted energy outputs that the user estimated were two to three times the amount of energy expended by competitive cyclists in the Tour de France.
Another user, writing under the handle Okraball, posted in March 2018 that they were disheartened by unrealistic figures at the top of their class' leaderboard.
"Frustrating and demotivating. Not even worth looking at anymore. Until Peloton figures this out, I am done with the leader(fake)board," they wrote.
