Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was looking at exercise bikes but there were a number of drawbacks. The bikes would have taken up my whole living room. They would be too heavy for me to move. And they were quite expensive, esp. the recumbent ones I liked. I saw this online and decided to give it a shot. I was expecting a flimsy piece of junk but was very pleasantly surprised. It's quite sturdy. The folding feature allows it to be stored under your couch when company comes. I read a few reviews that said these cycles make noise but I have not noticed that at all. I have also not encountered the slipping that some people mentioned. I use the cycle on a rug, not on a bare floor, which may make a difference. I have diabetes and a heart condition and it's important for me to get some exercise. This is a good choice for me. Sitting on a kitchen chair proved uncomfortable due to the fact that I am short. I found a living room chair that was just the right height. So far, I have used it every day. It's very easy to use it while watching TV at night. One segment of a show is about 13 minutes, so you do not even have to use the timer. I would absolutely recommend this to someone like myself.
