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.

Customer Reviews

works well by Cap
I have been pleased with the bike…assembly was quick and easy. Even with my infant and toddler “helping” it took only minutes. I only wish the seat were more comfortable…I ride twenty or thirty minutes a day and the seat is not great, but manageable.

Good Exercise Bike by Felisha D. Mason
I bought this bike right after I tore my ACL and was facing surgery the following week. I spoke to several physical therapist I worked with and they reccommended an upright bike for post ACL repair. I was not able to actually use it until 4 weeks post-op but when I did it really helped me get back my range of motion. It is a good solid magnetic resistance bike, you can also use low to no resistance like I did following my knee surgery. I have recently been able to increase the resistance and it really tones your legs and buns quickly, and you will burn calories and sweat when you do! I prefer this bike over the recumbent bikes because you get a better calorie burn, however if you have a back injury I would suggest the recumbent bike(my physical therapist explained that it takes the pressure off your spine). Overall I am very pleased with this bike. Mine is the Gold version and I paid $128 total.

Definitley Worth It! by Elisa Valdez
When I first saw this bike, despite the good reviews, I was skeptical about buying it, and holy mother of god I was WRONG.

The bike is very sturdy. It has two bars in the front and back that don’t let it wobble around and everything stays in places as long as you tighten the screws very well during assembly.

Assembly took me about 20 minutes. The only part that was even remotley difficult was connecting the wires to the computer. There is this metal cable that has to be attached, and it can prove to be somewhat hard, but it will eventually snap into place after pushing it in with some force.

The levels of resistance are GREAT. The bike offers 8 different levels, and levels, and they can be changed by the twist of a dial. Levels 6-8 have proven to be difficult (and I ride my regular bike A LOT), so the bike is great for beginners and people who exercise regularly.

The bike is very compact and will fit in any size home. The seat, the pedal straps, and the handle-bar are very easy to ajust, and the bike’s weight capacity is 300 lbs, making it useable for virtually anyone.

The computer on the bike is pretty basic, but it offers very accurate time, distance, speed, and the amount of calories burned.

Some tips-

*BUY A SEAT CUSHION* -the seat can get uncomfortable if you use the bike for prolonged periods of time.

Assemble the bike in the room where you plan on keeping it, becuase although it has wheels to help it move around, it may be heavy for some users.

The color of the bike may vary. The one I got was orange, not blue.

This bike deserves 5 stars. You should really look into buying one.

Shop Around For A Better Price! by Rozaroni
Target had this bike for $98! With shipping, I paid a total of $135.74.

Despite positive reviews, I was concerned about the sturdiness of this bike, but turns out that my fears were unfounded. This bike is solidly built. The movement is smooth. The seat is the perfect height for me (and my legs are short - a 29.5″ inseam) And the best part is that I didn’t have to assemble it! I have to agree with other reviewers about the uncomfortable seat, but that can be easily remedied. The only other thing is that the computer readout does not have a storage function, so if you’re tracking time, distance, speed or calories burned - make a note of them before you get off the bike because it resets to zero. I’d recommend this bike to anyone wanting to start an exercise program.
