Peloton

Stationary bike brand

Peloton is the main cluster of riders in a cycling race, moving together in a tight pack to reduce wind resistance.

Breakaway riders may escape the peloton, but it often catches them.

The word is French for "ball" or "platoon." Peloton is also a brand of exercise equipment, especially stationary bikes with streaming fitness classes: She did a Peloton workout this morning.
