I did a lot of research before buying my Desk Cycle 2. I read just about every article available, thought it couldn't hurt more than sitting already does, and ordered one. After using it for a month with a lot of success, I revisited those articles and noticed something: every reviewer patently ignored the instructions to start at level 1 for a week, then increase incrementally, and only go up to level 3 if you still want to get work done. They all cranked it up to level 4 or higher right away.
Having actually followed said above instructions, I can safely say this is fantastic and I wish I'd bought one sooner. It's great to fit exercise in whenever you can, and staying at a level 3, I pedal for 3-4 hours during the course of my workday without sweating at all. This also got me to switch my work heels for flats, so that's probably also better for my feet.
All in all a great purchase. Don't hesitate to buy one, just read *all* of the instructions, not just the ones for installation.

It’s addictive.
By CO on February 7, 2019
I was annoyed when I took this out of the box and realized I’d have to spend a few minutes assembling it. I almost gave up and returned it because I wasn’t even sure I would ever use it. My kids got home from school and seemed interested so I used it for the first time to show them how it works. That was a half hour ago, and I can’t stop pedaling. It’s addictive. I thought I would be annoyed having to focus on it, but after a couple minutes I didn’t think about it anymore and I’m keeping a pretty steady pace. Then I thought my knees are a little sore, but that’s probably because I’m overweight. Not going to stop peddling over that. I don’t love to sweat, but I’m sitting in my cool house sweating which just tells me it’s making my body work at least quite a bit more than sitting still and doing nothing. I went from total disinterest just shopping for a new desk to be sure I have plenty of space for clearance. I got this on sale for $120. I don’t normally spend much on gifts, but there were a few people that I’ve already decided I’m going to gift this too because they work at a desk like I do and this thing really feels great to pedal. If you are reading this, it’s because you need to be more active – just like me. Give it a shot because if it’s not as enjoyable for you, stick it back in the box and print out a return label – but you won’t. It’s addictive.By CO on February 7, 2019

Exercise machine has saved my life
Reviewed in Canada on September 8, 2021
When I purchased this machine my diabetes was out of control along with my weight. After the first week, my insulin requirements dropped by 4 daily units. There was no weight loss until the 3rd week.Reviewed in Canada on September 8, 2021
After 10 weeks, my insulin requirement has dropped to 40 units/day (from 72 units/day) & I have loss 10lbs. The machine is absolutely soundless & very easy to setup (see pic). I use it 5 times/week and for only 30 mins. Overtime, I've graduated from level 1 to 3, i.e., bike's resistance setting. The beautiful bonus is that the machine (thru their website) speaks to my Fitbit! Yay!
