CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
Back in 2021, I wrote a post all about how I use an “off-brand” stationary bike (that I bought off of Amazon) paired with the Peloton app for an incredible work-out experience. I’ve been using that exact pairing for THREE YEARS now and I still love it just as much today as I did three...
(If you missed “Part 1” of this post from last week, hop back here and catch yourself up!) This post was originally published in the spring of 2021. It’s now the spring of 2023 and I’m STILL obsessed with my Peloton “Dupe” Bike! So, I wanted to update a few things and re-share this post!...

Hi! I'm Kara!
Welcome to my blog!
I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.
I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.
When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.
Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.
I'm so glad you're here!

Thank you so much for this post! I have a similar set up with a dupe peloton bike, the peloton ap and the wahoo cadence monitor. I am ashamed to say I have not used my bike in probably over a year and today was the day I got back on it – to find out my cadence monitor didn’t work with the ap anymore! I found your blog and just discovered only 3 bike classes are included per month!!?? Thank you for outlining your plan and the introduction to Kaleigh Cohen and the cadence ap – I will be using it all to follow a similar plan!! Thank you!!
