Schwinn SR23 Recumbent Bike —
My wife and I decided to purchase this bike after extensive reviews. We're both in pretty good shape, but decided we needed to be heart healthy in addition to the toning this bike would bring with consistent use. It's not as cheap as some, but much less expensive than many others. The quality is gym-grade...very solid. Great materials...nothing cheap about it. We set up in our living room in view of the tv. It is whisper quiet and we can watch tv without turning the volume up to abnormal levels....no squeaking so far from any of the components. The workouts are great and you will feel it in your legs and buns almost immediately. Resistance is automatic via the computer. There are many programs to chose from and many variables to each program. The interface is user-friendly. Instructions for assembly were easy to understand. It took about 2 hours to assemble (with 2 kids competing for my attention). Not a single complaint here.
