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: Assembly tools cause woes. 2008-07-08
Comment: As a frequent purchaser of put-it-together-yourself items, I find that tools included for these items are usually cheap devices of a pressed metal variety. So, when I opened my horribly mangled box, I was not surprised at the lack of good solid tools included. Trying each tool once and noting the considerable wear on the tools each time I turned a nut or tightened a screw, I quickly scrounged in my local tool box and produced hearty tools that easily completed the job.
It took 1 hour to put the bike together myself and except for the lack of good tools the other components that came in the mangled and holey box, were of solid design. It is whisper quiet while in use and the bike has a fairly small space requirement. The seat was a little hard, but supportive, if you don't like hard seats you should order a seat cover.
If you purchase this bike keep in mind that you should have some good tools and a minimal understanding of bikes in general.

Summary: Good so far 2008-06-02
Comment: This is the first time buying an exercise bike for me, and I wanted to make sure that my bike is of good quality. So far, this seems to be the case with my Schwinn 101. I was a little hesitant at first, because some of the reviews seemed negative. However, much of the criticism comes from the poor packaging and shipping, not from the mechanics of the bike itself.
Because I actually bought mine from a local store (for cheaper than the Amazon price), I was able to circumvent the shipping problems. Plus, the local store guys assured me that I could bring it right back if anything was damaged (the packaging was kind of flimsy) or missing. So I would recommend that if anyone is considering buying this bike to try getting it locally. It could save so many hassles.
Set up seemed easy enough (my husband did it for me in about 30 minutes). The bike seems sturdy and I like the sleek, simple design. For the first couple times riding it, I could hear a "ping" noise from the pedals, but I think this is gone now. I am very happy with the way the bike works (caveat: I've only had it for about 2-3 weeks)--I get some serious exercise from it. I'm impressed with how the handle bars count my pulse and the monitor display is helpful in knowing how much exercise I'm getting. Also, it's really quiet. I didn't think the water bottle holder would be a big deal, but it is! It makes hydrating so much easier, which helps me exercise better. The resistance also seems adequate. Mind you, I'm a small person without much leg muscle, but still, using one of the programmed exercises for 20 minutes kicks my butt! And the highest resistance level on these programs is 5 (out of 8 levels). All in all, I'm very happy with this bike helping me get regular exercise.

Summary: Schwinn Bike Breaks and gets worse from there - lousy design 2008-04-29
Comment: After about 2 years of use, my Schwinn 101 bike failed for no apparent reason - all the resistance gave out. I figured out how to get the screws out of the plastic "shroud" that hides the inner workings, but could never get the shroud all the way off because I could not get it by the pedal assembly. Schwinnn provides no repair directions to help with that step, an don online search also proved futile since all the online manuals from Schwinn cover other topics.
Peering inside, I can see that the tensioning spring came off. But that can't be fixed with the shroud still in place. So, I've been stymied in the efforts to fix it myself and get back on to the bike ...
I have to say this is typically lousy modern design that fails to block failure, AND fails to make it simple to deal with the failure. So, I've now wasted 2 hours in futile repair efforts and have to go the gym each evening to bike until I can buy a new one. I will not buy another Schwinn !!!!!

Summary: Poor packing and poor workmanship 2008-03-10
Comment: I purchased this bike for the Goldbox price of $239. Placed the order on Dec. 22, and it shipped on Feb. 15. Amazon did keep me informed as to order status.
Upon arrival the box was all beat to hell. Started assembling the bike and the left shroud was cracked. Wasn't about to pack all that back up and take to UPS for return. Called up Scwinn, or Nautilus, or whoever they are, to have a new shroud shipped to me. The gal was helpful and registered the bike for me. Then she asked for the serial number, the numbnuts drilled a rivet through the first digit of the serial number, but she guessed it should be a 3 for this model. I reminded her that I would need a crank puller to pull the crank arm off in order to replace the shroud.
I went on to assemble the bike. The pins in the front panel electrical panel connector had to be straightened with needle-nose pliers. Also found the left front base cover with the moving wheel was cracked. The shrould and gear puller did arrive in a few days.
Got the bike assembled in probably twice the time it should have taken due to the cracked shroud. So far, the bike appears to be stable and quiet. Longevity is a big question due condition the bike was received in.
