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.

 exceeded my expectations March 2, 2010
A. Steward
Contrary to some other reviews, my package arrived in great condition. Everything was well-packaged and intact. The instructions were relatively easy, but took a lot of concentration (as I'm not so wonderful at these types of things). As others experienced, 4 screws were already screwed into the bottom of the seat and 4 more into the back of the seat. These had to be unscrewed first, then re-screwed in to attach the parts to their various mounts and brackets.
Although the tools provided are adequate, I switched to my own tools halfway through assembly to lessen my frustration.
I chose free shipping to save myself $50. I just couldn't justify spending that kind of money to get the machine sooner. I was glad I did. It arrived in 7 days and was worth the wait.
I really love that this machine has no arms - the recumbent bikes at the gym all have arms that go back and forth as you pedal and I don't like them. This machine is low to the ground, too, which makes it less obtrusive in the space it's in. I also really love the low computer console - makes for unobstructed viewing of the TV while I work out.
And this things makes no sound whatsoever! I was astonished at how quiet it was.
I should also note that I'm not a small person. This machine has a weight limit of 300lbs and it's quite sturdy. It's not as beefy as one you'd find in a gym, but it's totally adequate for a home gym. I broke my leg a few years back and every physical therapist I saw had me ride one of these bikes during my recovery. If you have ankle flexibility issues like me, it helps a ton.
All in all, this machine greatly exceeded my expectations, given the amount paid for it. I recommend it highly.
Reassuringly stable and easy to use February 20, 2010
S. Albertini (Over here)
I've lost fifty pounds just through diet, but I have a good way to go yet. I like the recumbent bike because it takes the pressure off my back and keeps me from hurting myself with my own body weight. There's a recumbent bike in the exercise room of my apartment complex, but it is always in use, so I priced gym memberships--they seem to be pricey in my neighborhood. For the cost of four of five months at the gym, I bought a set of resistance bands and this exercise bike.
When it came, I was surprised how small the box was, but it was almost too heavy for me to maneuver into the room where I set it up. Definitely use your own tools if you can (an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver); the wrench is pitiful. By the time I had the bike assembled (which took me about an hour, being careful), the wrench was mostly stripped, and the nuts were getting stripped. Fortunately all seemed pretty stable and fit together properly. The bike was surprisingly compact. I think the low monitor position really helps it not take over the room.
I expected the bike to move or shift as I pedaled, but it held up sturdily. The movement was quiet and smooth. The seat wasn't the most comfortable ever, but it was fine for a 30-minute session. Even though I am not used to exercising, I found a resistance of 5 (on a scale of 1-7) to be comfortable but challenging at the speed I pedaled. The monitor is not difficult to learn, and the two weight-loss programs I tried were reasonable. Everything worked well. I wasn't used to having my pulse checked on a bike, but it worked well too, and seemed accurate.
No complaints here! So far this is a promising machine. I like using it, so I hope it holds up for daily sessions for a good while.
Good bike February 16, 2010
Cleopatra (Larchmont, NY)
The bike was just what I thought it would be- sturdy and quiet. It arrived on time. It did have a small crack in the plastic casing, but the company promptly replaced the casing. I'm very satisfied with this bike.
it's easy and a great winter exercise December 31, 2009

I found this item great for the money paid. It is easy to put together - despite the directions not clearly defining some steps or indicating that some pieces were already connected to the larger parts of the machine. It is convenient and is not horrible to look at so I don't mind leaving it in a common area. It is easy to move around - though not light. It is stable when I am riding it. The pulse handles have a plastic covering which is hard to see and is not indicated in the directions, but if you do not take it off it will not read pulse accurately.
The issues: Given the price - I knew there would be some limitations and these are totally workable for me. The seat back has only one position and height - it is not exactly accurate for my back - but I have found a way to make it work. The seat bottom is formed - that with the seat back not moving can make for an uncomfortable ride for some people I imagine. Again with the price paid, I can make a little discomfort work. The directions and informational booklet could use some more detail to make it an easier set up and use; I am good at putting things together - if I were not I may have sent it back. Adjusting the space to pedals is not easy - not horrible - but not easy - so if more than one person using on a regular basis this could become a deterent to using. I use it on a carpeted floor - perhaps that would be easier on a different surface - but I don't think so.
Despite the not perfect fit of the seat - it is still getting good use and is not triggering back difficulties (which is why I went with the recumbant style).
I am glad I bought it.
Best for the price November 30, 2009

The bike itself is perfect. The molded seat, a feature not found on most exercise bikes, makes it comfortable. I shopped around and Amazon had the very best price for this item. I put the item together myself, in about 90 minutes. Be aware, when you separate the screws, it may seem several are missing. Although not stated in the instructions, the screws for the seat and back rest are actually in place and must be unscrewed to be reattached.
The bike itself deserves 5 stars. However, I upgraded shipping for quicker delivey and it was not shipped within the time frame promised. That is on Amazon. When received, the box was wet and falling apart. The delivery driver said the box had been near melting ice. I expected the worst but the bike itself was still in good condition. That is on UPS.
