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.

Manufacturer Warranty
Frame - 10 years; mechanical and electrical - one year; wear items - six months; labor - 90 days

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Low End Bike.. Don't Spend Less, I'll explain.., March 8, 2007

This review is from: Schwinn 112 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports)

First off, the reviews i read really helped me in making my decision so i wanted to make an effort to write one myself back.
One thing i noticed is that people spoke highly of the "schwinn" name, ironically actually for most cyclists the Schwinn name is now synomonous with "cheap" bikes as when they went bankrupt they were bought by Pacific Cycles and the Schwinn name has been slapped on every bike in Target, K-Mart etc, the real low end bikes etc, so i actually was real embarrassed and hesitant to buy a Schwinn, but "Schwinn Fitness" is a different company and much better, their exercise bikes are high quality and cost $300 to well over a $1,000 and are not in the category of the cheap Target bikes.
So with all that said, i was not seeking out getting Schwinn, but did slowly figure out that it is the best for the money, in that in my opinion don't get a bike that you can't "glide" i.e. when you stop pedaling the internal wheel keeps going.. this bike has that.. the ones cheaper don't, so this is probably about the cheapest bike that has that... it has a "heavy wheel" in there that you pedal and this is what gives you some feel when you ride, this is what makes this bike the bottom end of the "decent" bikes..
The other thing that i compared this to were the other bikes right about its price level, i'll have to tell you, some of the other ones might have "looked" at bit better (that's just an opinion) or one had a better seat, but the Schwinn is a just a lot better, this bike is "refined" in that it has been around and been re-designed and is really well done, the other ones are still figuring it out and working out the kinks, the point of getting a bike in the long run is to have an enjoyable workout experience and that is what this bike will do for you, it is really adjustable, seat: forward and back, up and down, tilt up and back, the handle bars slide towards you and away and adjust up and down and fold up and down... i.e. very comfortable.. the bike is solid and well built, the computer is very good and provides all you need... it does what it needs to do at the lowest price that is being offered for a bike.. i think if you want more than this bike offers, you really have to then considering pay a lot more, because at this price Schwinn has got it, this matches what all the reviews are saying, consumer reports etc... good luck..

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed, February 24, 2006

By 

Frederick Sanborn (Anahiem, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Schwinn 112 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports)

I've ridden bicycles regularly since 1990. I've averaged about 4,000 miles a year, but I've always wanted to ride more. Unfortunately, bicycling is a daytime activity, and I have a difficult time getting free during the day. This Schwinn 112 Upright Exercise Bike is exactly what I've needed. In the six weeks that I've had it, I've ridden just under 1,000 miles (48 hours). All this riding was done at night, and no traffic to contend with. The bicycle was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. It has 12 difficulty levels, 6 programmed rides, and a manual mode, which I prefer. It's a good bike for people who just like to ride. When I picked out the bike, one of my big fears was that it wouldn't provide enough resistance to give me a good workout. (When I used to work out at the gym, I did leg presses at 30 reps at 600 lbs., 15 reps at 700 lbs., and 8 reps at 800 lbs. I have strong legs.) As it turned out, it was more than adequate. I work out at levels 6 and 7, so there is a lot of capacity for improvement. And last, but certainly not least, it has a big comfortable seat. I am very happy with this purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars Schwinn 112 / 113 / 122 / 123, April 13, 2006

This review is from: Schwinn 112 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports)

This review is for a Schwinn 112, but the four Schwinn exercise bikes in the title are identical except for "trim level". The main structure, drive mechanism, seats, and handlebars are the same. Differences between them include a backlit LCD on the computer, number of exercise programs in the computer, regular or wide pedals and seat, and a small fan at the top of the display.
I purchased it on-line from Dick's Sporting Goods web site for $299. However, eight different on-line retailers of this unit were all quoting the same price and shipping costs. Upon further examination (looking at the page source in the browser), I discovered that all eight web sites were delivering the same web content from the same server. In other words, you may think that they are separate on-line stores, but they are actually eight store _brands_ putting their face on only one on-line source carrying this unit.

Pros:
The bike is comfortable, quiet and well-designed.
Handlebars are adjustable about 2 inches horizontally and 90 or so degress in tilt.
Seat is well padded and has a small depression down the middle to help prevent loss of blood flow to reproductive organs. Seat is adjustable about a foot in height, 3 inches horizontally, and a useful amount in tilt.
Pedals have adjustable straps to hold feet in or to allow upward pulling while pedaling.
I don't use the exercise programs in the computer, so I can't review that, but to start up only requires pressing the quick start button and however many presses you wish on the plus sign to increase resistance. Heart rate minitoring takes a little too long (about 30 seconds) to settle on a consistent reading.

Cons:
Just as at least three other reviewers have noted, my bike was delivered with a flaw. Every time the pedals moved, the bike screamed like a banshee. Examining inside the plastic cover of the drive mechanism, I found a spring in constant contact with the flywheel; every time the flywheel moved, the spring sang. Schwinn Fitness support (M-F, 8-5 PST/PDT) said the flywheel may have shifted during shipment.
They did not agree to let me take it to an authorized Schwinn service center, but rather mailed me the tool for me to pull the cranks off and fix it myself. They also took eight days longer than necessary to mail it to me.
It turns out that the placement of the flywheel and spring is likely to cause others to experience this problem. The flywheel mount seems to be randomly positioned laterally on the frame. I had to take spacers and extra nuts off of one side of the flywheel axle and move them to the other in order to get it out of the way of the spring but still aligned with the drive belt.

Overall, I can't recommend this unit unless you get it at a store that will assemble it for you and verify that it's right, and that places its cost at or above other bikes in its class.
