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.

1.0 out of 5 stars The steering stopped working after only 1 month of use on both bikes., March 1, 2007

The steering stopped working after one month. There is a one year warranty on the bike, so they will send a replacement. But they have been around for a while now. So are the parts just going to keep dying? Why haven't they fixed this problem yet? I bought two bikes, and both of the steerings died after one month.

Besides this, the tension on the bike is very low. It is very easy to peddle on the hardest setting. It's too weak.
