Customer Reviews
Smooth ride, enjoying the display. It fits well, very comfortable seat. Super quiet.
My first bike was a Schwinn and was my favorite. Now at 60, I decided to get a recumbent exercise bike to help me continue my weight lose journey, 40# so far, and to keep me on track when it rains and I can't get outside to walk.
