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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad For A Home Gym Item, September 26, 2008

I purchased this item as part of a gold box promotion. The bike is nearly fully assembled. It took about half an hour to get it assembled. The instructions for both assembly and operation are not very good. There is an addendum (at least in mine) packed in the instruction book. It is very unclear. What I painfully discovered is that the lever that tightens the seat position needs to be adjusted before mounting the seat. If you don't get it in exactly the right place, the seat has to be removed before you can lock the seat into position.

In terms of operation, the bike has a few issues. The center column is impossible to keep tight so the console wobbles. The pulse monitoring sensors almost never work. The eddy current resistence works very well. The seat and the bike itself are rugged (and heavy -- 120 lbs 60 kg). Parts do tend to loosen and the connections between them are not well thought out.

For the money (when it was on sale), this exercise bike is a good deal. The console display is very similar to the ones I have seen in gyms. The bike has some good pre-programmed exercise routines.

Just be aware that this bike will need periodic tightening. This is a home machine and is not as rugged as the exercise bikes found in the typical gym.

I got it and it weighed a ton. A few of the plastic parts were busted but the factory replaced them when I called. The instrument panel mount isn't firm, it wiggles. There is a clunking sound in the front bearing. Otherwise, My wife really likes it and it does all the things a bike in a pro gym would do.

I LOVE THIS BIKE. I HAVE HAD MANY DIFFERENT WORKOUT MACHINES AND THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE. I GOT A GREAT PRICE AND RECEIVED THE PRODUCT VERY FAST. I DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PROGRAM PORTION OF THE BIKE. THE BOTTOM PROGRAMS DID NOT READ AT ALL. I GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE COMPANY AND THEY SENT ME A NEW PANEL RIGHT AWAY. NO PROBLEM. IT WORKED PERFECT. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE BIKE AND WITH THE SELLER. I WOULD BUY FROM THEM AGAIN. YOU GET A GREAT WORKOUT AND HAVE MANY OPTIONS. YOU WILL NOT GET BORED WITH THIS BIKE. IT IS QUIET ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN WATCH TV WHILE DOING YOUR PROGRAM. THE MESH BACK IS GREAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET OVERHEATED. IT ALLOWS FOR AIR CIRCULATION YET GIVES ENOUGH SUPPORT TO KEEP YOU IN THE PROPER POSITION. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
