    It looks pretty weird. Like an upright bike trying to be recumbent. I dont know, but I reckon it could end up being pretty uncomfortable to ride, it just looks all wrong, your feet are way out in front of you.

    Argos have this, which might be a better bet, a more reliable supply route and warranty solution, if nothing else. http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9237386/Trail/searchtext%3EEXERCISE+BIKE.htm

    Bear in mind most exercise bikes become clothes hangers. Make sure youre going to use it. :)

    Hi there.
    Just looking fo a quick bit of advice. Looking to buy a foldable (short on space), cheap (short on cash) exercise bike for a bit of sweating on these dark evenings. Have a dodgy back and 2 dodgy knees. Is this any good?

    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    That looks a pretty uncomfortable bike to ride. If you want to get it, your choice. Go ahead. But personally, I don't think that is a great idea. You might want to search for a better one over the internet. I understand your concern regarding the budget but these things should be considered important as you need to achieve results. Wasting your money on a useless exercise bike & then further wasting time & energy. Makes no sense. Sorry but that was a personal thought. No offense.

    Yeah, most of the bikes end up being used as hangers, it is good for riding because it is a good source of cardio workout, helps in burning calories. Therefore, it should be used properly.
