When I was growing up, the rich kids had Schwinn bicycles. Schwinn meant quality, reliability and long lasting. When my wife wanted a new road bicycle, we shopped around and in the end, she picked a Schwinn. I live in the north east so riding every day is difficult as the weather gods turn a cold shoulder to my neck of the woods. To keep riding, we shopped for an exercise bicycle and my wife, once again, picked a Schwinn. Unlike the bike I am reviewing today, she picked a recumbent and since it was going to be her machine, and she was paying, it came home with us. So, for years, I have gotten my almost daily fix on that Schwinn recumbent bicycle. While I put many hours a week on it, to get your pulse rate and calories calculated, I have to place my hands on the sensor pads on the bars that sit below the seat - not a natural position for me but I have gotten used to it. I much prefer riding with my hand "up on the bars". Enter the Schwinn 120 Upright. It's a traditional...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Schwinn 120 Upright Exercise Bike (2012 Model) (Sports) Just finished my first workout, a short 30 minute, 8 mile ride. Installation was straight forward and took about 45 minutes total. I'm a fairly big guy (6'3/230lbs) but have an athletic build. The bike fits relatively well. My knees have enough room and don't hit the handle bars and that is with seat 1 notch from the tallest setting. The foot pedals however are small. I wore my running shoes (size 13) and they just barely fit into the straps even when they straps are at their biggest setting. If I don't have it just right, the sides of my shoes hit the bar that holds the pedals. After a few times adjusting my foot position it wasn't a problem for the rest of my workout. The LCD screen is a bit hard to read due to the font being a bit skinny. It is certainly not a deal breaker though. The heart beat sensor seems to be a bit erratic (even when making sure my hands did not move on the sensor). It would jump from 80 to 110, to 130 within 3 reading (~18 seconds). I think this may be...Read more 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Schwinn 120 Upright Exercise Bike (2012 Model) (Sports) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Prior to receiving this Schwinn model, the only experience I had with an exercise bike was a rather primitive one that could only claim a resistance knob and a padded seat among its features. So I was pleased to find this Schwinn 120 model features a convenient water bottle holder, a rubber mat on the console to keep your MP3 player secure, an area to place a book or magazine, and a built-in cooling fan. There's also an input port to plug in an iPod with speakers built-in to the console, but it doesn't work with my Sandisk MP3 player.There are six preset exercise programs and the option to enter your information, age, and weight in a custom profile to keep track of your progress. Your profile will track your number of workouts, total hours spent, average speed, total distance, and total calories. My favorite feature is the ability to change the resistance on the fly with the simple press of a button. Wheels are included on one of the base supports to make moving the unit a...Read more |
