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.

Assembly directions are the worst! - Philter, Nov 20, 2009

Once we got the bike together we liked it, but getting it assembled was a nightmare. My husband and I are both educated people, but these directions (loosely translated by the Chinese) are HORRIBLE. There are diagrams, but they barely look like the parts you have in front of you so are basically useless. The worst part is there are no instructions on how to install the tensioner. They totally omitted that part from the instructions. We are in the process of contacting the company about this serious issue; as the bike sits now you can only pedal at one speed and are unable to adjust the tension. I certainly don't expect this when I spend the money I did (over $500) on a piece of equipment. Another negative is the digital control panel. It's about as low budget as they come; looks impressive, but is all but useless except for the clock. Overall, - very, very dissatisfied with the instructions and certain components, but the bike is nice and sturdy (its ONLY saving grace). If we can get the tensioner issue straightened out I'll return to this review, revise it, and give the bike 4 stars.....but even as I'm writing this I'm thinking "we shouldn't have to go through all this trouble when we spent that kind of money"....

Sturdy bike! - Chitra, Mar 05, 2009

We bought this bike about a month ago. The delivery was early and in good condition. The bike was a little heavy but I had the delivery person put the box where we wanted to set it up. Assembly was a 4 step process - some assembly instructions were shown in the picture but not written out - but were moderately easy to figure out. I think having the written instructions would have taken out the guess work. The bike is very sturdy and we use it all the time. The display is very simple but has all the needed parameters.

Love this bike! - ILuvAccounting, Dec 24, 2008

The bike is very stable and quiet. Assembly was very easy. The bike has nice adjustments for the seat and handlebars. There was some damage to the box but no damage to the product when I unpackaged and assembled the bike. I would recommend this bike.

Solid machine - G. Harris, Sep 19, 2008

Solidly built but heavy. Reasonably comfortable, not too hard to assemble, though the instruction diagrams aren't the best. Seems like it will last a long time. Fairly quiet. Good choice for the larger person.

Comfortable and solid... - Tina Rodriguez, Aug 27, 2007

Bought this bike along with a treadmill (see other reviews)...Wanted a bike that I could use to go along with my treadmill workouts. I bought this mostly becasue of the warranty and user weight. I was not looking for bells and whistles so this fit the bill. I do not use this as much ast the treadmill. It has very comfortable seat and is quiet.
