WHAT A GREAT VALUE!

Gary and Sue from The beautiful southern Oregon coast

This bike was a gamble...buying an exercise bike sight unseen was risky. However, from the moment it arrived to just a few minutes ago, it has been evidence of a very good decision. First, we saved a bundle buying from this site. Then, after a couple of months, it has nearly paid for itself since we could finally drop our gym membership. Having a bike at home is luxurious for oh so many reasons. No more stuffy fitness center air, filled with germs, sweat and...you get the picture. What a treat to be able to walk from the desk to the studio and ride for a half hour or so whilst watching taped television from earlier in the day. We don't have to drive in the Oregon rain during daylight hours (safety is an issue in today's society) only to find the only empty bike is next to the hairy guy who somehow manages to fling sweat nearly five feet in every direction when he rides. Now, we can hear the television or enjoy a book without dealing with someone playing rap or country on the ov … Read more

Great recumbent bike!

Over Fifty Crowd from New Bern, NC

Both my husband and I have enjoyed this recumbent. It's easy to use and a smooth ride! I especially like the "GOOD JOB!" message that appears when you reach your goal. Also like the walk-thru feature instead of having to hike your leg over a bar - to the young and fit - it wouldn't seem like a consideration - but we're a little bit older now and will take help when we can get it! We have a treadmill which we've used a lot but now have some ongoing problems with feet and knees so we thought this would be a great way to be able to keep exercising. Plus we received it in an astonishingly short time after placing the order. It's a very well made bike - we like it a lot - thank you! Read more

I got this bike to lose weight and its great, easy to move around, super quiet, and easy to put together. I got the 2 year warranty that will replace anything with no questions asked. My whole family uses this even my teenagers and we all agree we love this bike. Read more

Great bike for the price

Mike from Watertown, NY

This is a great bike. Very smooth and solid. The only minor problem I see is with the heart rate monitor. When you place your hands on the sensors, the initial reading starts at 72 and slowly works its way up to whatever your actual heart rate might be. Just seems to take a while to get there. Guess I'm just used to "club" equipment where you place your hands on the sensors and you get your heartrate reading right away. This is not a big inconvenience however, and I still think that overall, this is a great buy and a great bike. Read more

Great bike - sturdy & high quality

Nutty Blonde from USA

Even if you think you are so out of shape you couldn't possibly ride this bike, think again, and give it a try! I have been lazy and let myself get out of shape the past 3 years due to not feeling well overall and a medical condition. I had gained 50 lbs. due to a sluggish thyroid which medication has now brought under control. Still I had that 50 lbs. to lose. (As always stated, please check with your doctor beginning any exercise program).Having used a treadmill and a Gazelle glider and finding myself bored with both of them, I decided to try a recumbent bike as this was one piece of exercise equipment I hadn't yet tried. So before I took the plunge to order this, I checked out this same model bike at [...] and immediately fell in love. So the treadmill and Gazelle both went on [...] and luckily I sold them for a decent amount of money.Using this bike doesn't feel like exercise at all, and it is so quiet I can watch the local evening news on TV and the time flies by.I love the differ … Read more
