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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to assemble and defective, March 6, 2005

The merchandise arrived defective. So after having struggled putting the many pieces together, the seat couldn't be mounted on the bike. Shipping it back to the sender will be a nightmare because the pieces won't fit back into the box, and the box had to be pretty much demolished in order to get the main bike part out of it. The plastic casing for the handle bars was cracked also. I think that is a potential flaw in the design. A stronger material should be used there.

I bought the bike because the review I read said that it was easy to assemble. That is not the case, and one needs to be very strong to lift some of the parts.

At this price, this a great piece of equipment. It has a very high build quality, is easy to put together, and is very sturdy.

It is quiet, not like some others I've tried. It is also comfortable. I can't think of any single thing that I'm either unhappy or disappointed about. Well, perhaps the manual could have been more detailed as far as operation. But, quickly 'messing' around with it for a few minutes, it was easy to tell that a better manual wouldn't have been needed anyways.

Good luck everyone,
George

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best experience, June 30, 2006

Item arrived damage from shipping. Carriage tube was damaged (pinched or warped)in shipment and assembled seat carriage would not slide onto the carriage tube. Unusable as
as arrived. Getting it back into shipping box was a nightmare but was accomplished. Getting it shipped back to Amazon was another nightmare. They had it listed in the on line catalog weighing only 9 lbs, when in fact it weighed 141.5 lbs. UPS refused first time to pick it up due to weigh discrepancy(originally delivered by FedEx Ground), finally able to get UPS to pick it up after many phone calls and emails. This was NOT one of my best experiences with Amazon. Note that heart monitor is not in the recumbent seat handles but are in the bent forward handles. Not a deal killer for me, but might be for some.
