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.

Summary: It's Just what I wanted! 2008-08-02
Comment: I absolutely love it! It's almost as low a price as you can get, it's not too small like one a tried in a hotel once where my knees where up by my hands. It's not too big either. It has a solid bar for the handles which I was looking for because all the ones I've tried with two pieces get really loose at the connection. It has the fan, always a plus to be cooling the apartment while exercising. It runs nice and smooth and comfortable and it looks nice, not all sace age looking like most the new bikes.

Summary: An ok Bike, more cons than pros. 2008-07-14
Comment: It's an ok exercise bike for the price.
I don't go over 20mph because of the reviews I've read, and there have been several, on what happens to the bike over 20mph. It hasn't fallen apart on me yet. I use it for 15 - 20 minutes 3x a day.
I'm short so the seat is too high and I have to 'tip toe' on the pedals. This I don't mind, but what I hate about the bike is that the seat is unbelievably uncomfortable, EXTREMELY uncomfortable and for this reason I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over 200lbs and under 5'6".
I take the time at least once a week to re-tighten the bolts all over the bike.
If I had more or a budget to spend on a better bike, I would have.
Look at all your options, eBay or a local sports store before committing to this bike because comfortwise, it sucks.
