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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works for me, December 20, 2005

TimInBC "reads too much SF" (Victoria, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Horizon Fitness R6055 Programmable Recumbent Bike (Sports)

It's comfortable. It's smooth, and quiet enough that you can watch TV while riding. It has speakers for my iPod and a fan for when I sweat!

It's not the most sophisticated computer I've ever seen, but the better ones were all on rec centre machines that probably cost a lot more.

Drawback: when you run a program, it beeps loudly whenever the level changes - sometimes as soon as 10 seconds after the previous beep.

Very good product, some quirks but good value if bought on sale. Only worth it if the price is under $500...
