Real bikes have also one important advantage: you are force to leave the house and be in the sun.

There are tons of possible reasons why someone might prefer a peloton to a road bike, implying one is better than the other is just naive at best.
"Oh but you get free coaching from your peers" oh you mean more people to bikeshed how I exercise and more conflicting information? What's not to like huh
If so, that was not my intent, different people have different reasons for preferring one activity over another, I just wanted to highlight that being outdoor is useful in itself, and should be considered when choosing what to do.
I hate doing physical activity with people, so the "peers" part is especially outside of what I meant :)
Which is why I replied to you instead of directly to the main comment.
