About 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. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 Great product for the money September 4, 2010
Janet W MacLeod
After a second back surgery this past summer, I needed to find some low-impact exercise. This exercise bike fit the bill perfectly. The price is great, the packaging was incredible. This thing could have survived a nuclear holocaust in its box! Took me about an hour and a half to put together with my 15-year-old; the directions were pretty good (most of the time was spent wrestling the pieces from the box!). I have it parked in my livingroom, right in front of the television. It is quiet, as other reviewers have reported; I can easily watch TV without having to turn the volume up. I have yet to figure out how to make the different biking programs work, but i just hop on and pedal away, and it tracks my time, miles and calories. Money well spent.
good for the money August 30, 2010
Maria Long (Fla. Panhandle, USA)
Purchase this bike over a month ago and it has worked great. The ONLY problem is working the computer its not really user friendly and the manual doesn't tell you how to switch to other programs, I have to play around w/ it and just starting to get the hang of it. It is still a good buy. I am 5'6, 170lbs and I am trying to lsoe about 20lbs so this bike hods me up well. I wish it had an on/off button. Once you turn it on you must wait for it to auto-shut off. You will need a screwdriver to put together but other than that all other tools come w/ bike. It was very easy to put together and instructions were user friendly. easy to transport from one room to another if you wanted to watch tv and then put back up when done. For the money a good buy...also, the resistance could stand to be higher...but I guess had I bought a more expensive one I would of been able to ge tthat feature. Its still a good buy...
I recommend this bike. August 21, 2010
gc8710
I recommend this bike highly. It is easy to assemble. All the tools needed are included.
It took me under an hour from when the box was delivered until I started using the bike.
I'm recommending this bike as someone who is of normal weight. I'm male, 5'5'' and weigh 135 lbs. I'm aware that this is way less than most Americans, but based on the sturdiness of this device ,I think that anyone under 200 lbs would have no problems.
If you weigh more than that, it's reasonable to think that a custom made device would not be out of the question. A bike that costs $200 can't be expected to endure such high stress levels needed to support huge bodies. But for normal to slightly large people, this bike is well worth your consideration. And it's available at a very competitive cost compared to other bikes.
Now on to some specifics. The pedals are very comfortable with adjustable straps to fit all size feet. The handlebars are easily adjustable and comfortable, as is the seat.
The tension control covers a large range of tension which should meet all requirements.
The digital readout is hard to see and a light would have been nice.
I found only the timer to be useful but I imagine the distance and speed reading would be useful to people who want to monitor such things for personal comparisons.
I really don't know why they include calorie readouts on these home exercise devices.
I'm sure most everyone knows they are useless but for the few who don't, I think the fact that they always over calculate by a mile does some people a huge disservice.
If someone considers the readout to be accurate, they will find themselves gaining a lot of weight if they gauge their calorie intake based on their calorie expenditure.
For instance , I did some light to moderate pedaling for 10 minutes and it told me I burned 250 calories. This is not possible.
In summing up, A great product at a great price.
This bike feels ,looks ,and performs like it should cost at least twice as much.
 Uncomfortable- August 18, 2010
Benjamin David (Austin, TX USA)
You get what you pay for is the old addage which definitely applies here. For $200, it's not a bad exercise bike, but the reason i give it 2 stars is because it is so uncomfortable, it is just another reason not to use it often, and when it comes to exercise, people usually don't need the added discouragement.
I am 6'-3", which i think only adds to my discomfort on this very small bike, but my wife is 5'-2" and she's not terribly comfortable on it either.
Don't get me wrong, the bike is ride-able, but it is no 5 star machine as other reviewers would lead you to believe, and this is the main reason why- the bike's configuration forces you to slump forward which is more uncomfortable than biking upright (at least on this model). That combined with a very minimal diameter of a pedal stroke (really bad for long legs like mine), makes this bike not worth even the cheap price of $200.
If you really plan on using an exercise bike frequently, i would suggest you pony up $400 to $500 for one that is comfortable and has a larger diameter pedal stroke motion.
Works great.. August 6, 2010

I have been loving this stationary bike in every way but two. First, I did not care for the seat it came with - but since it was compatible with any bicycle seat I easily replaced it. Second, the foot straps didn't fit my feet with and without shoes and so I stopped using them. Despite those two complaints the bike has been fantastic and I can't imagine why anyone would buy a more expensive version.
