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.

Easy to assemble. Bike was damaged during delivery, but one call to Schwinn's Customer Service and the replacement parts and tool needed for disassembly were shipped right out.

I did quite a bit of research and reading reviews before I decided to buy the Schwinn 230. I am very happy with my decision. It is a sturdy, well built recumbent bike with a quiet and smooth drive train. I feel reasonably comfortable sitting on it during workout. UPS delivered it on time in good condition. There is a booklet with step by step instructions for the assembly. It is not difficult to follow, and took about an hour or so to finish. However, the instruction does not specify which end of the computer cable is supposed to be connected to the computer. Try it out. Do not "force-connect" two wrong ends.
Overall, it is an excellent recumbent bike with a good price, and a lot of good reviews too. I use it everyday. I would recommend it to all of my friends.

This bike gives me exactly what I have been wanting - an easy way to work exercise into my daily schedule. I thoroughly researched several recumbent exercise bikes before making a decision and relied quite a bit on customer reviews. I am glad I read reviews in advance, because they made a big difference in my decision.
I work out after I get home from work and eat dinner. By that time, I am ready for a "fun TV" break. I exercise for about 45 minutes/session while watch two episodes of funny sit coms I've recorded (currently I'm watching The Nanny) and don't even notice that I am exercising. I've lost 1.5 pounds in two weeks, and I'm very pleased with those results. I've even graduated to exercising while watching shows that require more attention, like "Charlie Rose," and it's still easy. So I'm getting in physical shape, laughing more, and becoming more informed about the issues of the day.
The bike is everything I hoped for. It's small enough to fit on one side of my bedroom, very sturdy, and not that difficult to move. I think the quality is great - it's very sturdy - and I expect it to last for ten to twenty years. The cost was reasonable. Amazon was offering no tax or shipping, and I already had a $40 gift certificate, so it cost me about $330. This was less than it would have cost to buy it from a local store on sale. There was no damage to the bike during shipping. I paid a handyman to put it together and the cost was well worth it.
I do not like to exercise and have tried for years to find a way to make exercise a part of my daily life. I think this is going to work.
