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 as advertised, December 25, 2008

By	Hugh Chin (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This bike does what it says in the description. It was relatively easy to assemble, but did arrive with some shipping damage. The plastic legs were crushed but Stamina did send a replacement within a week. Regarding performance, it is quiet and stable with enough resistance for most people. The adjustment for the seat distance is not the easiest so I would not recommend if you are not limber enough to hold the base in place with your legs while you try to slide the adjustment forward or backward. The electronics is very simple but not very important to me in terms of different programs. I only use the timer. The main criteria for my purchase of this bike was: Low console to not block view of TV; step through design; and price. This bike fits the bill. If you want a bike that looks & feels expensive then this is not for you. It's just a clean simple bike.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quality Item, February 20, 2009

By	A Beachbum (St. Marys, GA USA) - See all my reviews

The shipping box looked pretty bad upon arrival, but the contents were in perfect shape due to excellent interior protection. Screws I thought might be missing were already in place in the seat and seat back. Put it together in less than 1 hour working alone with my own tools. Tools provided are like survival kit. Would work but would take much longer. Perfect fit & finish on all parts. Very high quality for this price. Very sturdy and stable ride as evidenced by 300 Lb. rating. Large easy to read computer display. Easy to move wheels. Easy seat adjust and tension knob.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great basic bike, January 28, 2009

By	Avid Reader - See all my reviews

This is a nice, sturdy, reliable basic recumbent bike. It's quiet and easy to use. Amazon.com delivered 2 days before I expected it, which was great. The box was torn a bit, but none of the parts were damaged or missing.

One tip- the screws for the seat and console are already in those parts, not in the equipment bag with the other bolts and such. I was a dope and didn't find them, so I emailed Stamina customer service through their website. They replied promptly and graciously, and I was able to assemble with no further problems.
