When you’re heavier it’s difficult to find a bike that can provide you with the challenge you need for fat loss while still being sturdy enough to hold you up. It seems so dumb that you have to weigh less to start working out on most machines and in this bike I’ve found that I am comfortable that it can support me and provide me with the regular workouts I need to achieve my goals. The settings are very simple and provide many different options to shake things up occasionally but the manual program I prefer is also easy to utilise. I also appreciate that it keeps your training record until you clear it or power down the bike so you have to to do interval training and still come back to your bike to continue on with the records from the previous interval. The only issue I have had with this bike is the comfort of the seat but this was easily remedied with a gel seat cover. Overall a great bike with a substantial weight limit and a very good price. Building it was a breeze and I would recommend it to anyone but particularly larger people who need a higher weight limit on a machine so you don’t feel you have to lose weight before you can get an exercise bike to help you lose weight.
