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.

Great Bike!

Review Date: April 2, 2009

Reviewer: Michael Marello,

This bike is great! Got it and set it up in under an hour. Installation is straight forward. The person who rated this one star, Im pretty sure you were installing the left pedal the WRONG way. At first I went to install the left pedal and had the same problem as you! Then found out that the left pedal is threaded COUNTER-clockwise and the right pedal is threaded clockwise like normal. Make sure your turn the nut for the left pedal to the LEFT not right. Bike has great resistance and extremely quiet.

Love it.

Reviewer: Edwin P. Mendez, NYC, NY USA

I like to bike, but don't like the cold. I was looking for a inexpensive but decent exercise bike. For the money, I'd be surprised if you can find a better value. It was delivered quick, and I put it together in about an hour (really easy). The ride is very smooth and quiet. I really have no complaints about it. Lots of bells and whistles. You can set it to be very challenging or take it easy if you are a beginner or recovering from injury. Highly recomend.

Day 1

Review Date: February 19, 2009

Reviewer: Coyote Gal,

First I was impressed by how easy assembly was. I had it together in about 45 minutes. It has enough adjustment in the seat and handlebars to where I was able to get it very comfortable quickly. I'm short so I was worried that would be an issue. Between the reviews and the instruction book I figured out the programming system. It's very stable. I'm not sure what I think about the seat yet but it could just be getting used to it. I spent 3 days looking at about 15 bikes before I settled on this one. Couldn't be happier!

Great Value - Needs Simple Fix

Review Date: October 27, 2009

Reviewer: Lee, Great Neck, NY

This bike is an excellent value. I particularly like the electronic tension adjustment. Delivery was quick and assembly was easy using only the tools provided. One problem: Other reviewers who mentioned the loose handlebar were right. I found that vibration from normal use loosens the two screws, and the bar flops down. The solution is simple: Place a lock-washer under each screw-head. The lock-washers apply tension to the screws and keeps them from vibrating loose. For good measure I also applied liquid threadlocker to the screws before reassembly. I've had no problems since. I'm surprised that Schwinn did not supply lock-washers, especially since they are provided for the frame assembly.

love this bike!

Reviewer: Lisa J.,

I'm a runner, but a pinched nerve in my neck had me unable to run for awhile. So, in order to stay active I decided to purchase a stationary bike. I've never owned a stationary bike and after reading previous reviews I decided upon purchasing this one.

And I couldn't be happier!!

Excellent price and free shipping were an added bonus.

The seat comfort is pretty decent for me, though I did read that others purchased a different seat. I usually ride for about an hour a day and it's perfect in that time frame. Though, maybe if you ride longer than that, buy a different seat.

-There are six programs or you can select the manual program.
-The bike is pretty lightweight and easily movable, as it has front wheels.
-It is very quiet.
-Within the six different programs one can still adjust the level of difficulty, which is a good thing if you want to climb steeper hills.
-The one minor detail that I would like to see added to the control panel is a way one can enter their weight so as to get a more accurate reading of calories burned. (though, there are fitness websites out there where you can retrieve that information.)

I ride the bike 4-5 times per week and never get bored or tired of it. It really is an excellent bike.
