Product Description
Stationary cycling is one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for increasing your metabolism for more efficient calorie and fat burning without the impact on your joints. Choose your own workout intensity with the 8-step adjustable tension control, or use one of the the 6 preset programs: Fat Burn, Maximum Fat Burn, Aerobic, Hill, Interval, or Mountain. The electronic, battery-operated monitor lets you know when you are working within your target heart rate zone, and keeps you motivated during your workout by displaying speed, distance, time, and calories burned. The aero handlebars have built-in pulse sensors take your pulse. The oversized, molded seat is padded and adjustable to fit any size rider. Because it is an impact-free activity, stationery cycling can be a lifelong form of exercise. For effective aerobic exercise, work within your target heart rate zone (70% to 85% of your maximum heart rate).Amazon.com Product Description

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 Exercise Bike! 
by .. J. Cole (USA)
I have had this bike for over 3 months and ride it about 5 to 6 days a week for 20 to 25 minutes each day. It is a Great Bike! It was easy to assemble (though I did have my husband doing most of it) and takes up very little space. I keep it close to the TV so that I can ride it while watching my favorite shows. It is very quiet. It has more features than what I use - I just want to know how long I'm riding, how fast, and how far. But I'm sure the extra features may appeal to others. I highly recommend this bike. It was very reasonably priced and was well worth the money.
Excellent Product by .. Deborah K. Anderson (Rockton, IL USA)
I am usng this bike as rehab after hip replacement surgery; it's very quiet & has adjustable resistance which is good for leg strengthening. I plan to continue using it as part of an overall fitness program.
My only complaint is the height of the seat; even at its lowest level, it is a "stretch" for a short woman like me(5 feet)to mount.

Great bike for the price by .. J. Perkey (MI)
I purchased this bike about one month ago, and I am very pleased with it. I had my boyfriend assemble the bike for me, so I can't really comment on whether or not it was difficult to put together. I can see how the bike would be difficult to use for people who are shorter. I'm 5'9" and I had to put the seat down to one of the lowest notches in order to use it comfortably. The only thing that I didn't like about the bike was that the seat was uncomfortable for the first couple uses. Thankfully, it only took a couple hours of riding to break in the seat.
Overall, it is a very smooth and quiet ride. It's also very sturdy. That, along with the preset programs and various resistances, gives you a great workout. Of course, there are better bikes out there, but this bike does a great job and can't be beat for the price.
Pleasantly surprised 
by .. Frank (SF CA)
I bought this bike to rehab from knee surgery. At this price point I was willing to take a chance and buy it sight unseen. It works as advertised and I've incorporated it into my daily exercise routine.
The bike is quiet when in use; I've used wind trainers before that sound like cyclones compared to this bike. I don't have to crank the TV to hear it while pedaling. The tensioner has 8 levels and provides a good spectrum of wheel resistance. The electronics controlling the 6 exercise programs, timer, calories burned, distance traveled, and pulse all work well.
The only minor negatives:
1. The setup instructions were clear but hooking up the tensioner was unnecessarily difficult. Took 20 minutes and a lot of sweat.
2. The stabilizer bars (front and back) are just a tad short, so there is a slight side-to-side movement as you pedal. Nothing serious.
3. As you exercise, the LCD readout cycles through all the stats...would be nice to be able to select what data you monitor.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase, esp at this price, and can recommend it others.
