5.0 out of 5 stars Solid bike at a great price!, December 5, 2011

I spent a lot of time reading reviews on exercise bikes, but ultimately decided on this...I'm glad I did! This bike is solidly built and offers some features that the pricier bikes, like the Sole Fitness B94 Exercise Bike don't, as that was the other bike I considered. I found a store to try out the Sole B94 in person and was not impressed, especially with it being priced at $250 more. Livestrong is made by Johnson, which is great manufacturer of fitness equipment. Unlike Schwinn fitness bikes, this one is stable and intelligently designed. The water bottle holder is out of the way, the handlebars are sturdy and can handle spirited riding, there is a spot for your iPod to rest, a magazine/book rest, and a display that shows everything you need. One note, they used to include a USB stick to upload your workout data and I thought it...Read more

The box arrived looking like it had been drop-shipped. The box had obviously been torn open and retaped. Luckily, all the parts were there and none damaged. It was easy to assemble although the allen wrench provided did not fit some of the bolts well, so I had to improvise a little. Great instructions and the most organized set of hardware I have ever seen. I have had it for about a month, and it works well. It is very solid and heavy. It has very smooth pedaling, and is pretty comfortable to ride. The heart monitor works great so far. It has a variety of "courses" although I have mainly used the manual course.

The only minor inconveniences I've observed include the following: there is no "off" switch - you either leave it on with the computer screen doing wild patterns (and wasting energy) or you unplug it. That might not be a problem if you have it plugged into an easily-accessible place, but the disconnect from the bike itself is at the floor on one side. This...Read more

I have had this bike now for almost two months now. I have no regrets on this purchase. I ride this bike a few times a week to change up my workouts.
If you're in the market to buy an exercise machine, I would recommend this bike. I love it!
