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.

  • Smooth magnetic resistance with tension dial for adjusting intensity
  • Large, easy-to-read monitor displays speed, distance, time, and calories burned with one-button control

This review is from: Stamina 1300 Magnetic Resistance Upright Bike (Sports)
I got this bike 3 days ago and have used it about 20 minutes everyday. I am very satisfied with it and here are some pros and cons I can share with other people.

Pros:
- It is relatively light weight. I believe the total weight after assembly is around 48 pounds. I can move it all by myself, even go upstairs or downstairs. The good thing is that I can put the bike in a more private place during the day and only move it in front of the TV when I am using it. This is a big plus as otherwise I would need to put something in the family room.
- It is quiet. I ride it for 3 nights around 11pm when all people were sleep. It is so quiet even I don't hear much of the noise while riding it. With two young kids, and a busy working schedule, late night is probably the best time for me to get some exercise. So being quiet is almost the most important condition for me.
- The color is neutral, and easy to fit into household color scheme. I can almost put it anywhere in the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect bike, February 15, 2009
This review is from: Stamina 1300 Magnetic Resistance Upright Bike (Sports)
I recently ordered this bike, and it was relatively easy to put together as well as small and compact. I live in a small studio apartment and I am able to easily stow this away with no problem. Also, the bike is incredibly sturdy and a pretty quiet ride. I definitely recommend this bike, well worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Stamina 1300, June 28, 2009

Amazon Lady (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Stamina 1300 Magnetic Resistance Upright Bike (Sports)
This bike is perfect for someone like me who needs a low impact workout. I lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks. Assembly was pretty much self explanatory. The only glitch was difficulty attaching the tension cable end to the bracket and spring hook, but someone more mechanically inclined should have no problem with assembly. After assembly, the bike worked fine, but the LED display stopped functioning, so it may be necessary to unattach the meter to jiggle the connection wire from time to time. The seat feels very hard after about 15 minutes of workout, so I recommend a gel seat cushion. Make sure the cushion's dimensions are in the 13" x 15" range to ensure a proper fit. Other than these minor inconveniences, the Stamina 1300 Magnetic Resistance Upright Bike is a very nice addition to anyone's exercie regimen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Exercise Machine (Excellent combination with kindle fire), November 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)
Easy to setup and use. Very sturdy piece of equipment. Gives one a good workout. Comfortable and useful like some of the thousand dollar bikes. Slightly better than Schwinn 240 with additional programs and bigger console to rest your reading materials or Kindle/ipad etc. I was originally looking to buy Schwinn 240 but since 240 was getting discontinued decided to buy Schwinn 250 to make full use of warranty and service. I could not find a better price for this in local stores, Amazon had it delivered in three days with free shipping and no tax.

UPDATE Jan 20th, 2012 - I have been using this for a while now and it is awsome machine. I also use kindle fire while using it and this seems to be an excellent combo if you want to loose weight. I read books, magzines, watch movies, listen to music, check email and surf web and time flies by. I only intend to use this bike for 30 minutes but while using kindle fire I seldom finish in less than an hour. I am able to see difference in... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Can an exercise bike be a delight and a dream come true., November 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)
I have a really "bad" back, and have had to give-up walking and going to the gym. By trial and error I eliminated every type of exercise that increased the pain. While I am not exactly "in love" with exercise, it has always kept my weight under control. And,I discovered without a regular form of exercise I didn't feel as well as I had, and I started to gain weight. In desperation, I tried my friends Schwinn 240. Using a recumbent bike, didn't hurt my back. It had many good qualities, but the seat wasn't quite as comfortable as I would have liked. I came to Amazon to order the 240, and was excited when I read there was a new bike, the Schwinn Recumbent model 250. I immediately ordered it. I was pleased when Amazon notified me that I could expect the bike between November 25, and December 13, 2011. The bike was delivered at 9:30 a.m. November 25, 2011. The box was in good condition & the bike parts appeared perfect.My husband immediately began assembly. It took about 3 1/2... Read more

This review is from: Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)
This bike is built to last. All the parts are beefy. The MP3 port is really not what it is ad. as. All it is a 2 speaker port. No amp or vol adj. I have to have my MP3 turned all the way up to hear it. But the bike is extremely quiet. The only thing that you hear is when it changes the resistance levels and that is a very quiet motor sound. The display large and easy to read. If you have the display tilted all the way forward it gets in the way of the handle bars that are up front. You will not be able to put this in front of you tv and be able to see it since the display is right there. The fan is kind of a joke. It moves very little air even on high. But i guess that something is better than nothing.
The assembly went smoothly took a little over an hour but I did it by myself. The bike is heavy so you may need a helper when unboxing\assy. The seat adjustment knob have to be lossened all the way before the seat will slide. I would have changed this with something that is a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Profoem 315 CX Bike - great product, March 10, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Proform 315 CSX Recumbent Bike (Sports)
Delivery was very quick. The seat goes way up to the front, so a shorter person can find a comfortable position. (It also goes way back, so a tall person will ride comfortably, also.) I find that I usually am holding on to the handles next to the seat as that is where the heart rate monitor contacts are. The seat feels good on the back - good lumbar support. And it is nicely padded. I can plug in my iPod (or any mp3 player) and it has speakers in the console. Much better than wearing headphones! It has volume controls on the display panel. It is quite heavy, but has little wheels in the front so you can pick up the rear and wheel it around. The UPS guy was happy that he did not have to negotiate any steps to get the big, heavy box inside - I put the bike in my attached garage. So far I have no complaints at all and enjoyed my first ride. It took about 2 hours to assemble, and they give you all the hardware and tools - 4 Allen wrenches - that you need to assemble it.

The Proform 315 CSX Bike is preforming well and I would endorse it as a quality product. It gives you a good workout and does just what it was listed to do. The only problem I had with the delivery is that the box had gotten open and was resealed. The only thing missing was the assembly instruction. With a quick call to the company they sent those to me within 3 days. They also gave me the option for faxing them. I am enjoying my new bike.
