Amazon.com Product Description
Just 63 inches long x 28 inches wide x 33 inches high, this compact recumbent exercise bicycle features an adjustable heavy-weighted flywheel-resistance and belt-drive train so the bicycle pedals silently and smoothly at any resistance level. A battery-operated monitor displays speed, distance, time, calories burned, pulse, and target zone. The monitor also displays six pre-programmed workouts: fat burn, maximum fat burn, interval, aerobic, hill, and mountain. Workout intensity can also be set manually. A target-zone feature indicates whether speed needs to increased or decreased to maximize effectiveness, and a tension knob can be adjusted to any of eight levels to increase or decrease intensity without interrupting a workout. The seat is foam-padded and adjusts to fit any size rider. Oversized foot pedals hold feet securely. Handles are padded for comfort. The bicycle weighs 75 pounds.

A recumbent bicycle offers aerobic exercise while working out major muscles in hips, thigh, and buttocks. Stationary cycling also avoids impacting lower-body joints.

About Recumbent 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.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Customer Reviews

stamina exercise bike
Was a little nervous about ordering this one because of some of the more negative comments, but I found it to be actually easy to assemble and much sturdier and of better quality than many other inexpensive exercise bikes out there. It's even almost fun to use. This one's a good bargain and absolutely suited to the purpose of exercising at home. With even the shipping free, who can complain (except maybe the U.P.S. driver who was forced to carry the box up the steps.)

You get what you pay for...
This was an inexpensive bike and it shows. The control knob is hard to turn, and shows little, if any, difference in resistance. The display is flimsy at best. Save your time and money and buy a better model.

Easy to assemble and very quiet as promised.
I finally got around to putting this together and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to do. It is quiet as the description promised. My only two complaints would be that the pedals hang in such a way that it's difficult to slip your feet in without the assistance of my hands propping the pedals up. I don't know if it was a design flaw or how I installed them, however, I didn't see another way. The other annoying feature is that it's hard to adjust the seat backward or forward. The frame doesn't slide easily when in adjustable mode. However, if you're the only one using it it won't be an issue because it will never need to be adjusted. Despite those issues, I'm very happy with my purchase.
