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.

Product Description

The ProForm® 385 CSX recumbent-style bike provides you with extra back support and is easier to get on and off of than a traditional exercise bike. The EKG™ heart rate monitor gives you accurate pulse readings while you exercise, and digital magnetic resistance gives you full control over your workout intensity. 8 workout programs and a target pacer coach will help you get in shape in no time.

4.0 out of 5 stars great bike at a great value, October 14, 2009

By	J. Karis "Jonny K" (Long Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The bike was very easy to assemble and is fairly sturdy/comfortable for this price level. The pre programmed cycles are likely not very challenging for the avid cyclist, but fine for beginners and intermediates. The fan is a nice thought, though not very strong... Also wish they included the necessary wire to plug in my iPod. Beyond that, this was a great purchase for this price point. Smooth ride, lots of extra features.

1.0 out of 5 stars Proform 385 CSX Recumbent Bike, December 5, 2009

By	C. Hopkins (Shaw Island, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

The bike went together okay, but I could barely turn the pedals and a horrible scraping sound occurred when I did.
We had noticed some shipping damage had occurred, so opened up the housing and found the problems which did not seem related to shipping, but to neglect in original workmanship.
The belt tensioner was out of alignment, tensioning motor cable was misadjusted, magnetic shoe was misaligned and rubbing. (horrible scraping sound)
I wanted to return it, but my bright friend who relishes problem-solving, worked 2 hours to make it serviceable. I sat, recumbent, and pedaled on command for tests. For 2 hours.
We also noticed that the console reads incorrectly. At a leisurely pace, readout says I'm bicycling 26 mph.
On the positive side, I had a fine workout during testing, and the console makes me feel pretty ambitious.
