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.

 Good value for the money now that I've fixed it. Poor quality control. March 7, 2010
KingBoy
I just took delivery of a Schwinn Active 10. While it is at the low end of the price scale for exercise bikes, initial impressions are not good regarding Schwinns quality control. Upon unboxing I immediately noticed that the main cover has an area on top, between the two upright tubes, where the paint is flaking off. I suspect that there was some grease on the plastic that prevented the silver paint from adhering properly. I decided that didn't warrant sending it back, so I continued the assembly only to find that the bike made a scraping noise once per revolution when being ridden. I decided to investigate rather than immediately sending it back and after removing the covers (easy after prying out the back inserts that surround the crank) found that the main crank gear is bent and rubs against the handlebar upright tube. A small amount of brute force to reshape it, and a slight loosing of the main bearing, and I now have a quiet bike. Operationally, the bike has everything I need, so I'll be keeping it as long as nothing else goes wrong. The controls are easy to use and I think that the 8 resistance settings more than enough. If you don't have the QC problems that I had, then this bike is good value for the money. 3/5 (would have been 4/5).
 Great value for the money March 6, 2010
O. Armendariz (Arizona)
This bike with six programs with varying resistance is a great value for the money. Bikes can cost 6 times as much as this one. It's easy to move around and takes up little space. Lest I forget, it is very easy to assemble. I think it took me 30 minutes and I took my time to do it.
 Solid performer at affordable price March 3, 2010
Marcin Czaicki (Chicago, IL)
It's been a month now since i've been using this product so I decided to review it.
The bike was easy to assemble and I had it ready to go in about 20 minutes. On the downside the packing tape was sticked to the mechanism housing and upon removal the silver housing paint came off in few places but it's not something that i'm too concerned about.
Overall the bike is nice, doesn't take too much space and is easy to ride with a lot of programs to chose from.
The menu is somewhat difficult as others mentioned but after couple of times you'll be able to figure it out. Basicall you need to press menu once to pick with +/- buttons between programs then press the menu again to go into program and adjust the distance or time. Not really intuitive but can be done.
Now to the problems: as others mentioned, the seat is really uncomfortable. I do have regular outdoor mountain bike and I do ride it frequently. It doesn't have special comfortable seat, it's just your standard mountain bike narrow seat with minimal padding but that seat is much more comfortable than what the Schwinn stationary bike has. Schwinn's seat does feel OK when you're riding it and does not suggest what you will encounter once you get off the bike. I personally experience a rather sharp pain in my backbone rather than in the usual crotch place. I don't know if this is due to the fact that the rear portion of the seat is really wide or what but it is uncomfortable to get off the bike.
Second problem is that the bike has been squeacking from teh day one when you pedal. Now after a month it has diminished but when I let off the handle bars to have a drink of water or just to change the position for a while it starts squeaking again.
When it doesn't squeak the bike is really quiet.
Third, the display is really hard to read without a solid source of light. If you're riding after dusk you need to have source of light directly above the bike to be able to read display. This is a serious design flaw and i'm really disappointed in Schwinn for not thinking about this.
Lastly, it would be really good to have programmable weight as i'm suspecting that the calorie counter is not accurate. I'm an advanced biker but doubt that 45min of biking with hearth rate around 140 allows me to burn about 900 calories per bike's display.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this product as it absolutely covers my needs for stationary excercise but I'm giving it 4 stars as there are obvious imperfections that could be fixed.
That said, I would not hesitate to buy it again or recommend it to a friend with simmilar fitnes needs and no desire for too many bells and whistles.
Quiet, compact, and easy to assemble. February 23, 2010
C. nguyen
I didn't know how terrible I had it until I got this awesome exercise bike.
I just moved to a new apartment which could not fit my huge old exercise bike so I had to purchase a more compact one. Boy, I didn't know how loud my other bike was until I got this one! This is so quiet you can barely hear it. You can even use it early in the morning next to a room of sleeping children. (Which is what I do).
This bike was pretty easy to assemble and it is really easy to drag around and move room to room if you so wish. Just make sure you install the bottom legs correctly. (the part with wheels should go infront by the handlebars.)
This has several different workout programs and you can customize the duration for each and the awesome thing is you can make them as hard or as easy as you want because you can always manually adjust the tension. My old bike definitely could not do this and I paid at least $500 for it. And for those wondering if you'll get enough of a workout, trust me, you will. I regularly bike outdoors uphill and this exercise bike definitely gives me a workout.
Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase. I highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase. Don't be fooled by the price. This time, you get MORE than what you pay for.
A good bike for the price February 18, 2010
J. Nail
I bought this bike last summer because I wanted a way to get exercise and lose some weight. So far, this bike has let me do both. I chose this bike based on other reviews and price. I know many people have exercise equipment sitting around their homes unused because their good intentions didn't have any staying power. Since I was unsure how seriously I was going to take my exercise program, I didn't want to sink a lot of money into a product that sat around unused. However, I didn't want to buy a piece of junk either. After reading reviews, this bike seemed a good compromise between price and quality. I have not been disappointed.
The bike was pretty easy to put together - I believe it took me about 45 minutes. The bike has several different resistance levels and exercise programs. Honestly, I just use one program, so the variety is wasted on me. The computer console measures speed, time, distance (in miles), and calories burned (there are a couple of other units of measure, but I don't worry about them.) I can set any of these factors to determine my exercise program. For example, I can set it for me to ride 30 minutes or to tell me when I burn off 500 calories. The programs change the intensity of the ride to make it harder and easier.
My main complaint is that occasionally on the hardest setting the pedal resistance feels like it is slipping. It also doesn't have a drink holder although it seems to indicate that it does.
