Questions & Answers about Tu vas pédaler avec le peloton dans cinq minutes.

Why is dans used here instead of en to mean "in"?
In French, dans is used to say when an action will begin in the future (five minutes from now). If you used en, it would describe the time it takes to complete the action. Since the ride is starting five minutes from now, dans is the correct choice.
Why use vas pédaler instead of the simple future tense pédaleras?
Tu vas pédaler is the futur proche (near future), formed with the present tense of aller plus an infinitive. Because the action is happening very soon (dans cinq minutes), this "going to" structure is the most natural and common choice, just like in English.
Does le peloton mean exactly the same thing as the English word "peloton"?
Yes, because English borrowed it directly from French! In both languages, it refers to the main pack of riders in a bicycle race. In French, it can also be used in military contexts to mean a "platoon."
Could I say faire du vélo instead of pédaler?
You could, but pédaler (to pedal) puts the focus on the intense physical effort of the action. Faire du vélo is the more general way to say "to ride a bike" or "to go cycling." Using pédaler here creates a vivid image of the effort required to keep up with the group.
