The amount of great content on Peloton bikes is astounding and makes its products stand above most others in the home fitness category. But for many owners there is a glaring omission: the ability to watch non-fitness entertainment content on that beautiful big screen. Sometimes you just want to zone out for 30 minutes with your favorite new show and forget that you're even working out. Sometimes you just want to watch Netflix on Peloton.

Luckily, there is a solution and I'll walk you through step-by-step. The Peloton screen is essentially just a large Android tablet which has a built in web-browser. Although it's not obvious how to access it, there's a Peloton hack that lets you open a full screen browser to access all of your streaming services, including Netflix. Let's dive in.
