Sports reviews of Schwinn Active 10 Series Upright Exercise Bike
Customer Review: Even better than I expected
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This bike arrived today only one week after ordering it - love that free super saver shipping! The package is about 70 lbs and reasonable for one person to drag around, but I'd get help if you have to haul it up stairs. The item is masterfully and very densely packed by Schwinn (actually, it's made by Nautilus - this is a quality piece of equipment); there's no way it would get damaged in shipping. Many folks have already pointed out the many high points of this device, so I'll mostly focus on the things that were surprising to me (and mostly in a positive sense!).
Pros:
Unlike what many people said, this is *not* hard to assemble. It took me less than an hour, and that was after a glass of wine - this was far easier to put together than most IKEA furniture. Furthermore, unlike most kits that come with their own tools, this one comes with tools that are actually sufficient to properly build the device. Next, the resistance does have a pretty wide range - reading some of the reviews I thought that the resistance might only be effective for very lightweight exercises. I'm in pretty good shape (I work occasionally as a dancer/model, though it's not my primary gig), 5'8" and 135lbs, I work out on ellipticals at the gym regularly, and the upper resistance levels on this bike were too much for me to keep up for more than a half minute or so. I found that even the low resistances were pretty tough after half an hour or so - I worked up a great sweat in my living room and loved it! I certainly believe there are individuals that could do an hour on this bike at maximum resistance, but those folks are way more hardcore than I am. Next, the footprint of this bike is *tiny* - the base is only about 19" x 27", and the convenient wheels make it easy to move around your place. I have a pretty small apartment and I was worried that this would be a hulking, ugly mass, but in fact it's sleek, unobtrusive, and small. Finally, the display is not that hard to read. If you have decent lighting, you'll have no problem reading it. It's also not that hard to use the onboard computer - if you've used more than one kind of machine at the gym, you'll figure it out pretty quickly.
Cons:
First, the seat post wobbles a tiny bit. Not enough to be dangeorus or disconcerting, but it's just a disappointment given how solid everything else on the bike is. Second, there is nowhere to rest an mp3 player, phone, remote, book, etc. They could easily have added a thin plastic ridge to the computer, but just didn't. I'll probabaly have to make something that will accomplish this purpose. Next, as everyone reported, the seat is not that comfortable, but it's not that uncomfortable either. I was suffering more in my legs from the workout than in my seat :) I'm certain the recumbent version of this bike is more comfortable, but this one both takes less space and works out your abs (since they're compressed while you're hunched over the bike). Finally, the body is plastic and covered with a thin coat of grey metallic paint - some of the tape from the packaging lifted off a patch of the paint revealing the black surface below; certainly this paint job will scratch off easily. Not a big deal, but it may have been better if they'd just left that part of the bike black.
Overall, this is an excellent home workout device - I'm amazed that you can get something this professional (pulse readout, programmable workout, magnetic resistance, tiny footprint) for so little. Stop worrying about it and buy it, you won't regret it!

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
