    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.

    This bike is everything the ad says and more. It has all the features one could want or need. I am very happy with the quality and the cost of this bike.

    Good bike, reasonably easy to assemble - instructions are pretty clear. Only downside is the heart rate monitor doens't work very well, your hands have to be almost wet. Otherwise it works well.

    after 2 months the bike knocked so much i couldn't hear the radio. this is my first schwinn. i have had two other makes of recumbant bikes which each lasted about 1 year. it appears they are all throw aways except this was the worst.

    I bought this bike on the basis of the reviewers. It is extremely quiet but I am having leg pain afterwards, so I think I must be too short, 5'3"

    I received this bike weeks ago. At first it worked fine. Recently, the resistance level malfunctioned and would not decrease or adjust downward. Emails and calls to Schwinn were of little/no help. You are effectively on your own. So, now I have a $400 paperweight.
