Congrats on finishing the test, shaf. You'll like having the graph turned on for future rides. Also, if you really feel your FTP is too low you can change it to whatever you want in the Device Settings on the bike. I'd try out some PZ rides first just to be sure. Or you can just retake the test in a few days.
The Garmin will broadcast your heartrate to the bike and the bike will integrate that information into the Peloton stat tracking, on screen and in your workout summary. What I do is start a generic Cardio event on the watch and let that run while I'm biking, then 'discard' the Cardio event when I finish the class. Otherwise the watch might go into sleep mode if it doesn't know you're using it.@dodint one other question since you are a garmin guy like me. Does your garmin connect to the peleton, or do you use the peleton branded heart rate monitor?
If you want your rides to sync back to Garmin Connect like mine do, you'll need a third-party service at $24.99/yr. https://syncmyworkout.com/ will do it and it's been really good for me, and they have family plans for multiple riders on the same account. I can help you set it up, once it's set up you don't have to log back in again.
I bought on 0% APR using Affirm through Peloton.Do you need to buy the peloton shoes? I can just use my Nike's right? haha.
If you don't want to clip in you'll have to buy cages at a bike shop and change them over. But you really should clip in. I bought my shoes and cleats on Amazon, they're not Peloton specific.
My Shoes, there are others: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WJD424M
Cleats, you must have delta style cleats to use stock pedals: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093XPCDK/

One thing about shoes is that you're putting very little pressure on them so I can't imagine they matter much. I have almost 800 miles on mine and they're still brand new. I think you can probably go cheap here if you don't walk around in them like a weirdo. My wife got the Peloton shoes and they look comfy but, again, our bike is right next to the bench so who cares. Looking back I'd probably get shoes half that price as they don't wear.
Google spoiled this for me by putting a picture of the character in the thumbnail. **** pricks.Another TV character had a heart attack from a Pelaton, FWIW. It's a show a few of us watch so I won't spoil it
