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, basic bike September 5, 2007
Brenda B. Perkins (Southern California)
32 out of 32 found this review helpful
I rated this bike as a 5, because it suits my needs perfectly. It is a basic, no-frills bike, and that's what I needed. It is the 2nd one I've bought [for different locations]. I've had the first one for a couple of years, and, although it doesn't get heavy use, I haven't had any problems with it. I have arthritis in my hips and a daily 20 min. ride greatly reduces the pain.
Great Little Workout! November 23, 2008

I got this bike for my wife due to a recurring running injury that laid her out for the second time this year. I should add that she also has a gym quality very expensive Stairmaster and a Concept 2 rowing machine. Her injury was such that she even had trouble on the Stairmaster. Hence, the Marcy bike sounded like the next logical piece of equipment. She loves it, and uses it about 6 days a week for anywhere from 20-45 minutes a a time. It's smooth and very quiet and gives a great workout. I was so impressed I started using it too. I use it about 5 times per week. This bike really delivers. Highly recommend. Not alot of bells and whistles but no-nonsense and dependable.
Definitley Worth It! July 11, 2008

When I first saw this bike, despite the good reviews, I was skeptical about buying it, and holy mother of god I was WRONG.
The bike is very sturdy. It has two bars in the front and back that don't let it wobble around and everything stays in places as long as you tighten the screws very well during assembly.
Assembly took me about 20 minutes. The only part that was even remotley difficult was connecting the wires to the computer. There is this metal cable that has to be attached, and it can prove to be somewhat hard, but it will eventually snap into place after pushing it in with some force.
The levels of resistance are GREAT. The bike offers 8 different levels, and levels, and they can be changed by the twist of a dial. Levels 6-8 have proven to be difficult (and I ride my regular bike A LOT), so the bike is great for beginners and people who exercise regularly.
The bike is very compact and will fit in any size home. The seat, the pedal straps, and the handle-bar are very easy to ajust, and the bike's weight capacity is 300 lbs, making it useable for virtually anyone.
The computer on the bike is pretty basic, but it offers very accurate time, distance, speed, and the amount of calories burned.
Some tips-
*BUY A SEAT CUSHION* -the seat can get uncomfortable if you use the bike for prolonged periods of time.
Assemble the bike in the room where you plan on keeping it, becuase although it has wheels to help it move around, it may be heavy for some users.
The color of the bike may vary. The one I got was orange, not blue.
This bike deserves 5 stars. You should really look into buying one.
Good Value for a well built basic bike January 20, 2008
A. L. Davidson (Athens, AL United States)

I bought this bike after reading many positive reviews. It's a very well built basic bike. I found it at the website of America's major retailer that we all love to hate. They have it at a great price, but don't stock it in their local stores - use their Site-to-Store shipping and you don't pay shipping costs - just your local tax. You just have to wait a week or two for whenever they have a shipment coming from the warehouse, where they keep this item, to your local store. That Smiley face dropped the price by $38 after I ordered, but I still felt like I got a good value. At the current price it's an even better deal.

Target had this bike for $98! With shipping, I paid a total of $135.74.
Despite positive reviews, I was concerned about the sturdiness of this bike, but turns out that my fears were unfounded. This bike is solidly built. The movement is smooth. The seat is the perfect height for me (and my legs are short - a 29.5" inseam) And the best part is that I didn't have to assemble it! I have to agree with other reviewers about the uncomfortable seat, but that can be easily remedied. The only other thing is that the computer readout does not have a storage function, so if you're tracking time, distance, speed or calories burned - make a note of them before you get off the bike because it resets to zero. I'd recommend this bike to anyone wanting to start an exercise program.
