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 received the bike on time and in good shape. The assembly was easy and no parts were missing or damaged. I noticed during the assembly that the bike was built like a tank, ie, it is very sturdy. When I tested it, the action was smooth and very quiet. The seat is not the most comfortable, but a small foam pad improved it considerably. Now, the reason why it did not get a 5 star rating from me. Two items should be completely junked and redesigned by someone who understands how to do it right, and always has the customer in mind. First, the user manual: to say it is superficial is the kindest thing I can think of. It really ia a joke, a bad joke. It is completely lacking in any detail about operating the computer that controls everything. I defy anyone to learn how to run the computer from just reading the user manual. Lacking any usable instuctions, I attmpted to program the computer. I have been using computers most of my adult life and am not a neophyte when it comes to programming and operating computers. To say the experience was very frustrating would be an understatement. It is not at all intuitive, and in fact, is counter intuitive in many respects. If you are not prone to cursing, try programming that computer and you will quickly learn the technique. To put something like that out and leave it up to the customer to try and make sense of it is just plain bad business practice. You might get away with it if you have a monoply, but Schwinn does not have a monoply.
Excellent mid-range bike - Robert J. Tidey - Ca, USA
I wanted a mid-range exercise bike that was quiet, solid, reliable but reasonable priced. After a bit of research I decided on the Schwinn 220 and now after 6 weeks of use I am pleased that this has turned out well.
Assembly was very straightforward and took about 90 minutes on my own. Only problem was my own where I didn't look at the instructions carefully and spent too much time trying to screw on one of the pedals until I realised that one had a reverse thread.
Performance has lived up to expectations. I find the seat / position adjusted well and is comfortable. There is no noise during use and it feels very solid. There is a good range of workout options ranging from easy through to challenging.
The display is very clear and easy to use. There are a couple of small improvements which would have been nice. This model only supports one user's settings and history with everybody else being a guest. As my wife uses it as well it would have been better if it supported settings for a number of real users. Then there is a silly bug with the history summary which shows number of workouts, hours of use, miles, calories etc. The hours of use has been calculated thinking that a 30 minute workout is 0.3 of an hour. So 10 30 minute workouts show up as 3 hours rather than 5. No big deal but a bit sloppy.
Overall I am pleased with the choice and use it regularly now.
Good bike for the price - Daron Roberts - Denver, Co
Setup was easy using the assembly manual on Schwinn's website. Only major complaint is you can only setup one user and the rest are Guest users. It would be nice if you could setup 2 or more users. Bike is stable and comfortable.
