Website for exercise bike reviews; have two bikes in mind?
Jun 30, 2008 by dejavu | Posted in Diet & Fitness
I am looking to by a recumbent exercise bike and like these two from amazon. I am not looking to spend more than $200. They are the Stamina 15-4600A Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike and Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike. Does anyone have any opinion on these or can direct me to a website that has reviews. I appreciat it.
Here is a page with reviews of exercise bikes including the Stamina bike that you mentioned.
I am looking for a recumbent bike (magnetic flywheel) that has the ability to interface with a computer via usb to track my exercise results. Even a good piece of software to do this would be appreciated (mac osx pref. but windows is ok)
I have found a few bikes, but I am looking for something in the sub $750 range.
A few things popped into my head..
How hard would it be to modify an existing exercise bike to transmit the stuff it dumps into it's computer into mine?
Is there any sort of kit I can attach to any recumbent exercise bike to track the statistics?
Thanks for your time.
See below.
That is just the trainer (stand and resistance unit) with the hardware and software necessary to interface with your 'puter.
It shows a regular bike mounted, but there's no reason you couldn't mount a recumbent as long as its rear wheel is big enough. Beware, recumbents are a little pricey since they're low volume. Its pretty unlikely you could do what you want in your desired price range.
Yes, I know you asked about 'exercise bikes', implying a dedicated indoor bike like they have at health clubs, but those would almost certainly be MUCH more expensive. Plus, this way you have the benefit of a bike you can also use outside.
