About Recumbent Exercise Bikes Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Great Value!! Just what I wanted for a great price, March 10, 2010

This is one of the best buys I have made in a while. This bike works great! It is very quiet, the resistance levels go from non-existent to challenging, and it is very compact and fits in my bedroom for when I want to ride it in the morning and watch morning sports news. I love the computer settings so I know how long I've been riding, how far and how many calories I've burned. Overall, great value and I would recommend this to anyone who wants an easy way to get a cardio workout in their home for a great price.

Cheaply made, February 17, 2010

3 weeks after riding this bike I started having problems with the pedal loosening itself as I rode. Now 5 weeks and the arm that holds the pedal in place is now completely stripped. The bike is now useless. Very unhappy with this purchase.

Excellent Macine at a Very Good Price, February 14, 2010

This machine is well-designed and well-made of quality materials. It is sturdy, compact, quiet and functions exactly as it is supposed to. Assembly was straightforward and everything fit properly. It took me about 50 minutes to assemble working at a leisurely pace. The levels of resistance are appropriate for me, but for someone who is young, fit and strong, the maximum may not be enough. Adjustment for different users of different sizes is not as easy as on some more expensive models I looked at locally, but it still can be done in less than a minute. The price is right and you can get free shipping from Amazon (regular shipping would be about $40).

Not bad at all., January 25, 2010

I purchased the bike for my parent, who has a knee problem. She loves it. Though there are few quirks and need for improvement. For the price, it is definitely good household exercise machine. I live in apartment and the machine is quite enough to ride it without causing tenant below to rush up and complaint (however it does vibrate enough to not to use during wee hours).

As long as you are not trying to ride at 35+ m/h, ^_^ the machine is perfect for any novice or elderly person.

Another info - machine is made for someone who is taller than 5'6" (I think...). My parent is apprx. 5'4" and she have to put cushion behind her back to ride comfortably without over extending to reach the pedal, because height(or seat adjuster) is one hole too long.
