Better and more convinent than a full size bike. I use it under my computer desk - perfect, well made, sturdy.

It came with all the tools needed to put it together, and it works well. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because even with the resistance knob turned all the way, there is no real resistance.

I am very pleased with my "Sexy Legs" Mini Cycle Portable Exercise Bike. I am a 75 year old woman in a wheelchair and I use it for my arms. Its easy for me to handle and I can grap it whenever I want. I had been lookng for one after I came home from a nursing home. I used one there for about 4 months. Its a great machine. Few years ago I had purchased several books from Amazon and I was very satisfied so decided to look on Amazon.com again. The price was right. THANKS AMAZON.

It's okay. I read a lot of the reviews, so I knew it was a cheapo lightweight exercise thing. I was looking for something to just keep my circulation and move a little bit while I read or watch tv.

The reviews are right, the tension adjuster is awful. Mine, like a few others reviewed, does make a clunk noise on every rotation. If you pedal backwards, it doesn't though. One of these days I'm going to open it up and see if I can fix the clunk, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Also, the calorie counter is laughable. I lightly pedaled (backwards because of the clunk) through a movie, and it told me I burned 700some calories over a 2.5 hr. period.

SO, if you don't have high expectations, and want a cheap toy, go for it, but know that:

1. The tension is not really adjustable.
2. It might clunk. and
3. The calorie counter is not accurate. You'll have to figure it out based on the time and by rating your own intensity.

After stepping on it for half an hour, my legs are not even slightly tired. This machine simply has too little resistance, even on maximum resistance. It is simply not worth the money, save it for something better!

I ordered an arm bike to increase my upper body strength. The Sunny Mini Cycle is exactly the tool to do that. For the price I think the product does exactly what it promises.

It was a pleasant suprise when I received the Mini Cycle and found it to be exactly what I wanted and was more sturdy than I expected. I think I got what I was after at a reasonable price and recomend it to others interested in a home exercise bike.

I bought this after having back surgery to exercise my legs. It gets the job done, however I would recommend having the right chair to use it with. Knowing the height of the cycled before purchasing would have given me a better idea of what chair to use. My only other complaint is the radius of the pedals; I wish it would have been a little longer, but it is portable so what can I say.

I bought this bike few months ago, and I really liked it, but since I got the bike, it has stared to make noise. Now I am thinking to throw it out.
