Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am very very pleased with the Marcy Foldable Exercise bike. It was easy to put together, is well made and I feel very secure on it. As other reviewers have stated, it is incredibly quiet and the pedal motion is as smooth as can be. I like that there are eight levels of resistance. The best feature for me, is the position that my legs are in when pedaling. They are more forward than a traditional bicycle - more like a recumbent cycle. Because of this, I do not experience any knee discomfort as I do on a regular bicycle. The smoothness of the cycling creates a very rhythmic motion that I find to be a great tension reliever. The handlebar is well padded and very comfortable to hold on to. The footprint of the bike is not that much smaller when folded up, but it is a nice feature to have. There is just a pin that you pull out to fold the back part of the cycle to the front part. You then insert the pin back in to hold it in the foldable position. Very nicely designed. Even with the bike not folded, the design of it makes it easy for me to carry to a different room to exercise in. I mostly use this in my home office when I need to take a break from sitting at the computer all day long. It provides some much needed exercise and tension release. In case anyone is looking for a seat cover: I wanted a little more comfort to the seat and so I also purchased the Sunlite Cloud 9 Gel bicycle seat cover for exercise and cruiser bikes. It fits the seat perfectly and provides some additional comfort. I'm glad I made the purchases.
