This is great! I had it at work at first, but the keyboard tray is too low, so my legs hit it. It's at home under my desk now and it's great! So easy to set up and use, and you really get a great workout! It's quiet and well worth the money, for sure. [...] My 5-yr-old son loves it, too! :)

Easy to adjust

This is great to use while watching tv or reading. Before you know it, you've been pedaling for 30 minutes or longer!

It's small, doesn't take up a lot of room, versatile, yet does what it's suppose to--make you work out upper or lower body.

i have it under my desk and use it on my 15 minute breaks. however it is not quiet and does require that those around you at work don't mind a little noise.

It's great for my mom who is recovering from surgery. She can exercise while still sitting.

By Jan from Pt. Harbor, NC on 3/9/2008

Having the machine out all the time, I can use it for several short periods on days when a longer exercise routine isn't possible.
To eliminate any possible movement or instability, I placed the machine on a leftover piece of rubber rug pad. Nothing shifts around!

I got this because I have no room in my apartment for any exercise equipment and wanted something I could do while reading or watching TV instead of workout DVDs all the time. It is small and easy to store. I use it with a normal-sized folding chair, and I set it up on a yoga mat to keep it from sliding.

The straps on the pedals are too small (it's a snug fit with shoes on and I'm a women's 9). They should be adjustable, and perhaps with bigger pedals overall. I can't see how a man would use this. Also, when I use it for longer than 30 min, it starts to squeak loudly (instead of the usual moderately-loud swishing belt noise) and the metal heats up... I'm afraid of breaking it. The manual has nothing about maintenence (am I supposed to oil it? Should I not oil it?) aside from how to change the batteries.

Overall, good for someone who has no other choice due to space; but if I had room for a piece of normal sized exercise equipment, I'd ditch this little guy in a heartbeat.

I'm one of those people with joint problems whose doctor recommends peforming cycling motions against resistance to maintain joint lubrication. I got this unit to make sure I had no excuse not to do that, and it fits that bill just fine.

The unit is small enough to sit in the corner of my office or go with my in my camper, and functional enough to do what I need.

A few cautions:

- The front bar does need to brace against something. A wall works best.

- You can't use it in a chair with wheels unless you can lock them (duh!)

- It looks like you could set this under your desk, but that's not as easy as it sounds. Chair height, angle of attach and a few other variables have to be set up just right.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 91 year old grandfather who was recoving this winter from a major surgery. He likes it because he can use it for both his arms and his legs to regain his strength. My grandmother likes it because it doesn't take up a lot of space in the living room. The only pitfall was that it tended to skid across the floor on the carpet. We bought a rubber mat and all was fine after that. It was a real hit at Christmas!

This is convenient to use at various times during the day... watching TV, waiting for your nails to dry, while you're at your desk....

By PivotHeaven from Lorton, VA on 1/6/2008

Easy to assemble. My spouse will use at work - at her desk.

By Don from Providence, RI on 1/4/2008

Its a great product for someone that is looking for some exercise

By Neal from Portland OR on 1/4/2008

While in physical therapy, the greatest benefit came from use of the arm bike, as I was unable to use a regular stationary bike for some time. This device is a combination of both for a price I can easily afford. It is well designed for comfort and use. The only drawback so far is that it does not anchor well on the floor. It needs some type of rubberized cleat that grips carpet or hard floor. Instead it slides away easily. Other than that, it is very helpful to me.

By Loving Daughter from Auburn, CA on 12/30/2007

My father is diabetic, overweight, and unstable on his feet. This portable, flexible, and easy-to-use exercise bike is the best at-home therapy I've ever seen. Thank you for this life saver!!

This is a great product for someone who needs to improve their cardiovacular status but is unsteady on their feet. They can workout without any risk of falling.

By DJ from Stafford, VA on 11/18/2007

Overall this is good exercise bike. Usable for both feet and upper body. When using on harder settings, the bike becomes unstable. Doesn't weigh enough to set still and no convenient way to hold down.

By Kim from Atlanta, GA on 11/6/2007

Great since it can be used for upper and lower body.

By Aki from Cedar Park, TX on 11/5/2007

this was the 2nd bike we bought. the first one was excellent. we used it both for hands and legs excercise. we gave to someone when we moved to TX.This one makes a cranky noise. It is unstable and could not be used for leg excercise.This is the first [...] product that we were dissatisfied.Call us unhappy camper!

By Grandma from Huntington, WV on 10/27/2007

I like sitting in a straight back chair instead of on a bicycle type seat.

By Jan the Pilates Princess from St. Petersburg, FL on 10/26/2007

Seemed like a great idea, but the chair height must be perfect in order to use the leg cycle, and the tabletop height must be exactly right in order to use the hand cycle. Do you really want to keep this cycle on (or under) your dining room table? I don't.

By Jess from Jeffersonville, IN on 10/24/2007

The pedals did not fit my husband's feet. He has an average shoe size for men.

I think this was a great concept, but this bike isn't very easy to use because of the angle it takes on the floor. They nee to be more creative if they want you to use this while sitting somewhere.

By SuzyQ from Plymouth, MA on 10/23/2007

I have the bike under my desk at work and I use it when I feel the need to let off steam. I cannot continuously use it because my legs won't fit under desk and keyboard while I am pedaling. Everyone wants to know about it.

By Terry Z from Davie, FL on 10/22/2007

My husband is undergoing physical therapy and it helps him exercise while watching TV.

By Pearl from Iowa on 10/22/2007

Just did not get a good workout with the product because it did not stay in one place and I couldn't find a comfortable position in which to use it.

By slu98 from cincinnati oh on 10/22/2007

It's great. Thanks!

By mainer from maine on 10/22/2007

Works well under desk- but it's not very heavy and too much resistance. I use it just to keep moving during the day.

By Mrs. B from Burlington, VT on 10/22/2007

A great value!

By kelley from denver, co on 10/22/2007

Great for those that sit at a desk all day...you can exercise while working on the computer!

By Sybil from LV on 10/22/2007

Product is best in small places that don't allow for full size workout equipment. A must for people that work at a desk or who'd like to exercise, but can't quite get away from their office or home. Product tucks away nicely under a bed or in a closet while not in use.

By Jodie from Lynn, MA on 10/22/2007

Convient exerciser, but cannot be used on floors without it sliding around.

By Paws from Weld, Maine on 10/22/2007

This needs to be set up against something heavy ( a sofa or a wall) as it tends to move when you are cycling. It works great and I loved the fact that it doesn't need a room of its own.

By Parkers from Columbus, OH on 10/22/2007

I use this product at work - I keep it under my desk.

By d from Washington on 10/22/2007

It took some doing to get it to stay in one place (museum putty finally did the job). It cannot be used on carpeting. It has a great display and can be adjusted to meet individual needs.

By Jan from Colorado on 10/22/2007

Works great for my needs. Doesn't take up a bunch of room and gives good cardio

By Kristin from New York, NY on 8/16/2007

I use the bike to do simple leg exercises while I watch TV - not as effective as regular or stationary bike riding, but a nice secondary.
