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.

Customer Review
I've only had this for a couple months now, but I've been using it about 3x per week, and it's been great. Assembly was simple. The bike has plenty of resistance for me, and I'm a 150-lb 5'8" guy in reasonably good shape. It's very compact and easy to move; in fact I move it out of the corner into the middle of the room (to watch TV) every time I use it. The computer is not intuitive to use, so you need to read 1 or 2 pages of the manual the first couple times you use it; but after that you remember, so it's no problem. That's my only real complaint so far. Would buy again.
A piece of junk - Jim Mcculloch - Austin, TX USA
It is not as difficult to assemble this as some reviews indicate, it only took me an hour and 20 minutes and a little bit of bleeding to get it up and running. The problem is that it stayed up and running only about a week, when it began to make a clanking noise and the crank the pedals are attached to seemed to be getting loose. Then after a couple more days, quite suddenly the crank (or whatever it is called) seemed to break loose from its moorings inside the plastic housing such that you can't turn the pedals without them wobbling and sticking. Instantly unusable. I have not subjected this machine to hard use (whatever that might be) and I am not heavy--I am a 160 pound man. At this point Amazon may or may not refund my money (I have a problem of finding a box for it.) Regardless of whether I get my money back from Amazon, this is clearly a very poorly engineered item and I recommend on the basis of my experience that any potential purchaser not buy it.
Update: Rather than spend half a day locating an appropriate box and then disassembling the bike and shipping it back, I elected to take the refund ( on my 0) that Amazon offered because I was not satisfied with the product, and then out of curiosity I removed the screws on the housing of the pedal crank (much easier than assembling or disassembling the bicycle itself) to find out what was wrong with it. What was wrong with it was simple. The bearings are so shoddily made that they had gotten torqued out of alignment by my one week of use, and the bearing assembly had simply come apart. Literally. I suspect this will happen sooner or later to other bikes of this model. I still suggest not buying it. So off to the landfill it goes.
