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.

Product was very easy to assemble. Easy to use. The back display is hard to see and when the batteries go down, it's impossible. I don't like that I have to buy batteries for the bike to display, figured it plugged in. Seat is comfy, pedals are smooth and it is great for those who have knee problems! I would recommend!

Nice features and good quality. However, it is quite uncomfortable. It doesn't provide an enjoyable workout experience due to uncomfortable seat and insufficient clearance between seat and console. Could use a redesign.

Pedals smoothly, electronics work well for changing intensity, fan is a nice plus, upright is much more comfortable than a regular exercise bike. Things that could have been better: Ipod system didn't work correctly (it shorts out and sounds like its coming from a barrel), handlebars adjusting front to back would have been helpful, seat is not extremely comfortable - I wish it came off like a regular bike and I could have put on a nicer one.
