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.

Summary: Stamina Pro 15-5300 2009-11-15
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Pass on this one 2009-04-03
Comment: Since I've bought the bike (about a year ago) I've gone through two belts on it. The company was good about sending me a free replacement belt, but the design of the bike is flawed. This bike might be ok if you plan on peddling like a slow poke, but if you want any type of workout I'd look elsewhere. I'm looking for a replacement bike now.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very good purchase for the money 2009-02-03
Comment: The seat is just slightly wobbly at times but still seems stable. Otherwise, it's a very good buy, quiet and reasonably comfortable but I am 5'6" and 120 lbs. I can't say what it would be like if I were a really big person. I would recommend it overall.

Summary: Fairly satisfied 2008-08-17
Comment: I had read reviews about the bike being wobbly, or difficult to put together, or not having the ability to select a display other than scan. The bike I got had very minor shipping damage which does not appear to impair the bike's performance, or its useful life. The bike's four floor pads are designed so that if it wobbles, simply rotate the floor pad to eliminate the unwanted movement. The electronics are simple to operate, and yes, you can choose which aspect of your ride you'd like to moniter. (ie. time, distance, calories burned, heart rate, etc.) I am 5'9" and weigh 240, the bike is a good fit for me and supports me sturdily as I ride. If it weren't for the shipping damage, the bike would be perfect.

Summary: Decent for the price 2008-07-20
Comment: This bike is decent or the price. It works quite well - the range of resistance is pretty good and the heart rate monitor is decent so long as you keep your hands on the monitor points for at least a minute, otherwise it starts over trying to evaluate your heart rate. The main part of the unit is pre-assembled and the remainder isn't too difficult.
The person complaining that the tension control does nothing probably didn't follow the instructions to hook up the tension cable during setup, and to everyone complaining about the display cycling through the various readouts: just hit the "Mode" button! This let's you choose what it displays, and it stops the automatic cyclcing!
A few things that I have found annoying:
* The seat is uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I'm tall, but the main thing I want on a device that I'm going to use a lot is a comfy seat. I was not impressed at all with the one that came with it. If anyone has found a way to attach a better seat please leave a comment!
* If you stop using it briefly to take a short break the display clears within a minute or two, losing the estimated calories burned so far. This is quite annoying.
* After using it for a while, mine has developed a small rattle/tick as I turn the pedals. I haven't cared enough to open it to see if it's correctable. Sometimes it goes away.
* Inside there is some kind of band that acts as a chain between some of the parts. After a bit of use this band seems to rub against some of the internal parts and deposits black filings on my carpet. They don't stain, but occasional vacuuming is required.
* The plastic for the shell is a bit brittle and easy to crack.
* The heart-rate monitor takes a while to recover and find your accurate heart rate if you remove your hands from the monitor points on the handle bars.
Overall it's stood up fairly well and for the price it's definitely a good starter bike. I would give it 4/5 if not for the quality of the seat.
