I received this bike for a Christmas present.I had asked for it specifically after reading favorable reviews. (and, of course, based on the price!) It was pleasantly easy for my husband and I to put together and I jumped on it right away.The bike is quiet, the seat adjusts from veryhigh to very low, even lower than what I need (I am 5'2"), and it feels sturdy.The battery powered screen has a place for your pulse, calories burned, time, miles, and speed.This bike is quiet enough to sit and watch tv while riding and you can hear your show just fine.My butt did get a little sore from the seat, but I got used to it.The bike is easy to move around with the wheels, however it does stay in place once you put it down.I recommend to anyone looking for an affordable exercise bike.Click Here to see more reviews about: Stamina 5325 Magnetic Resistance Upright Exercise Bike

About 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. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
