We've had our Schwinn Exercise Bike for a while now and it was easy to put together. The machine is very quiet and stable, a well made piece of exercise equipment. Seat adjusts very well for different heights and it has good pedal placement. The display is awesome and it is very stable. Recommend the Schwinn.

Leace says "Losing the weight...but having an INCREASE in energy!! " about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

Leace — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:13:27 GMT

My husband and I have decided to start the new year with some healthy habits. In January, we decided to start to eat better, and we noticed we had more energy. Then, in Feb. we decided to start exercising more and my March we were tired of the changes in weather. We knew we could go to Sears for a good selection of exercise equipement. As soon as we saw the Schwinn 202 Recumbent Excercise Bike, we LOVED it. We were able to try it out in the store, but we didn't know exactly how we would love it at home, until we got it home. We are now racing to get ready in the morning to see who gets to use the bike first!! Last week my husband tricked me and changed my alarm clock, so he could be FIRST!!! Grrrrrrrrr!! We are now going back to Sears tomorrow to get a second Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike so we can bike together!! I think its worth EVERY PENNY and I am proud to own two of them!!

The bike performs EXCELLENT the first year then falls apart. Too many problems to list here but the biggest one is the motor fails which controls the tension after less than 1000 miles. UNACCEPTABLE....

I have had this cycle for two week's. I have not found any problem's with it. I did however have a broken computer LCD screen that only showed half the information it should have. Sear's send out a new one. It took a week to get it. The machine is very quiet and very stable. It appears to be a well made piece of exercise equipment. My goal is to loose some weight, and I think I can do it with this cycle. I would recommend this cycle to anyone looking for a good cycle at a good price....

I bought the Schwinn 202 about 1 month ago and love it! The bike is extremely quiet it's almost silent. There are many different programs and levels that you can use, including a heart rate detector. Been using the bike for a month now and have found no problems with it. Excellent!...

HealthNFitness says "Great Cardio" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 03:15:05 GMT

My husband and I purchased this 1 week ago. With both of us, it was easy to put together. Low impact cardio workout. It is definately a challenge for all fitness levels. We both work up quite a sweat. It is also a very quiet bike. I can hear the TV even on a very low volume. I was afraid of a bike rocking back and forth, this does not do that as well. Worth the money!!...

kneegirl says "Good bike" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:30:03 GMT

The bike was recommended for exercise in my knee replacement surgery recovery. It arrived the day I requested it despite the snowy conditions. It went together easily by the directions, and although it did take a couple of hours I did it by myself. The computer worked perfectly upon being plugged in. It was a little larger than I had hoped, but it seems to do the job....

MistressPoppy says "outstanding for the price" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:15:05 GMT

If you were anything like me when you were looking into what bike to purchase, you're probably geeking out. I about had a coronary. For me, it was between the Proform XP 400 R and this one. I test-"rode" them both at the store. The Schwinn has really good pedal placement and the seat adjusts VERY well for different heights. I am 5'1" and my guy friend who also tried it is 5'11." The resistance is smooth and silent, and the bike feels VERy stable. The seat is not as wide as the Proform, but it is somehow much more comfy and has a nice little lumbar support doo-hickey. The display is awesome, and the largest i've seen in bikes that fell within the $400 price range. I've been using this bike for 3 weeks and have lost inches and firmed up like crazy. Go for this one. It will make you happy and firm. :)...

This bike is great! It is sturdy and very quiet. You can easily listen to radio or TV while pedeling as any speed. It's fairly easy to assemble and all required tools are provided. I'm over 300 lbs and it holds me easily. The controls and readouts are easily visable and nothing is too complicated. I highly recommend this bike....

This bike is very comfortable to ride. It is exceptionally quiet! I have mine in front of the TV so I can watch while I exercise, and I don't even need to turn the volume up! The features are nice, w/MPH, distance, time, etc. I'm not sure how accurate the heart rate feature is, but wouldn't expect it to be spot-on....

Disappointed21515431 says "Reliability Issues" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:45:06 GMT

I purchased this bike a little over one year ago. Not too long after using it, the pulse indicater quit working-not a big deal. However, the resistance settings have now quit working, which means it either functions at an extremely high resistance, or no resistance at all. I have spoken to Schwinn, and they need me to open the thing up, which is going to require my buying some type of "crank collar", which is apparently necessary to remove the pedal so I can get inside to view the motor. I'm not too optimistic about the outcome on this. In closing, the bike worked well when it worked, but now it is useless. I frankly thought Schwinn was a product name that would be more reliable. I hope that my experience is an aberration, and that the others that have given this bike a good review will not run into the same problems down the road......

defrancisco says "very satisfied" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 11:45:05 GMT

The bike is well made. As for reviews about assembling it being difficult. The only problem with assembling it is the tools supplied. They are junk. Use your own tools. Or borrow a friend's tools. The instructions were well laid out and easy to follow. The bike is sturdy and quiet. It has stood up to using it 3 to 4 times a week at least an hour each time. Normally warm up for 1 minute at level 3 the at end of hour cool down at level 3 for a couple minutes. The resistance setting are easy to adjust to get a varied ride which I like the ease of being able to vary it to maximum resistance then back to level 5 or 4 to sumulate down hill. The one draw back is the monitor's height since I like watching Tv while using the bike. Have to position the bike so I can look around the monitor to see the TV. but that is just nitpicking. Over all it is a good piece of equipment built to use. And it does give your legs a good work out on higher settings, along with a good Cardo workout....

Tony202 says "Do not buy this one!" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 02:15:03 GMT

I bought this bike 13 months ago and have only used it maybe 20 times. It has already stopped working! It will not put tension on the wheel. My local Schwinn dealer told me that the 202 is built much cheaper so that they can sell it at department store prices. Dont buy this bike! The repair costs are too high too fix it so I have a brand new bike that is going in the dumpster....

ParrotLady says "Relied on Reviews and am quite pleased" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 05:00:02 GMT

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and needed to loose weight and begin an exercise program, but also have arthritic knees. So far this summer, I've been doing well with a daily walking program; however, I knew I'd need an indoor option for inclement weather. At first, I was leaning towards an eliptical, but then realized a recumbent bike may be a better choice, as my husband, who suffers from lower back problems, might use it also. When I began researching recumbent bikes, I came across this one. I was attracted by the Schwinn name and also the more affordable price, but the main reason I chose this bike was the number of favorable reviews. I have to say they were quite accurate. The instructions for assembly, my husband tells me, were some of the best he's seen and it did take him apprx 2 hrs with no additional help (he also said the tools that came with the parts were fine and not worth walking to the garage to fetch his own). The bike is very sturdy (years ago I belonged to a gym......

DirtyDog says "#1 for the $$$$$$" about Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike

sears-feed — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:45:15 GMT

The 202 is the best bike for what it cost. Looks great and is very easy to put together. I put it together in 36 Alice Cooper's songs. Some steps that it told me to do were already done by the factory. I was told that I would need to buy an AC adapter. NOT SO One was included so now I have one to return. All parts were there and sorted according to the step that you were on. Very simple, even you could do it.........ha ha (wait till it is on sale and save $50)...
