Peloton

A peloton is a group of riders in a bike race. The term comes from the French word pelote, which means "ball". Riders in a peloton save energy by drafting behind the riders in front of them. It is a beautiful thing to watch the professional cyclists ride along in a big group with all their different colored jerseys. Peloton is also the name of an indoor bike which has a cult-like following and I will admit I am a devoted Peloton rider. This is a list of book by Peloton instructors as well as one about the company and its creation. #IndyPLAdults
