At a time when people are sheltering in place, many are discovering or rediscovering the benefits of working out at home, as well as community-building platforms that help to encourage motivation—tapping into this, [Peloton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peloton-expands-availability-on-amazon-canada) teamed up with [ESPN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shareplay) for an All-Stars Ride. The [live Peloton rides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smash-your-fitness) were hosted on May 30th and the cable sports giant shared the one-hour special with events for both men and women. The rides featured professional athletes from a wide range of different sports, including golfers Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson, tennis star Monica Puig and USC women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley.

The All-Stars Ride is the first media collaboration of its kind from Peloton and it offered a friendly competition for sports lovers to tune into, especially as major sporting events have been cancelled.
