Some issues that I am trying to resolve

"I would like to use the product on a daily schedule. However I am having problems with the hand sensors which so happen to control some of the useful programs which of course is unfortunate for me.

"I've used this bike now for a few weeks and like it. The draw backs are; The LCD display requires a "heavy touch" and takes a bit to get used to.

"This is a good overall bike.

In hindsight I would have purchased the model below this one. The main selling point of the 231 is the extra exercise programs that it has. Most of these programs, however are not necessary and I find I do not use them. "
