About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require litle or no balance or coordination, and can provide an efective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. They ofer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitnes equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that alows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, al of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having conveneint access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Should I buy the Spirit XR425 Recumbent Exercise Bike Trainer?
I'm getting daily exercise!
I am a 56-year old, 5'10", 280-pound woman in need of exercise. I purchased this bike based on Consumer Reports' recommendation. It's not the exact bike they tested (that one costs $1200); this one has a web back rest but that's the only difference I can see.
I was able to unpack and put this bike together myself. Hint: Just cut the straps off the box and lift the top off to access the bike. All the parts and tools are included and the instructions are clear.
One strong recommendation I'd make (and I don't know why Spirit doesn't change their instructions!): Attach the seat handlebars BEFORE attaching the backrest. Otherwise, you don't have enough clearance to put the handlebar bolts in as directed. I had to put them in backwards, which has the sharp end of the bolts up against the backrest fabric.
I've been riding this bike every day for the three week's I've had it and absolutely love it. It's well-built, completely quiet, and everything I was looking for. The seat is very comfortable (I put a heavy towel over the seat and backrest because I didn't like the way the mesh back felt). The pedals and straps secure my feet/shoes in place so I never have to adjust my foot placement at all.
If you are looking for an excellent quality home exercise bike, don't hesitate to purchase this one.
Smooth, Easy to Assemble, Good Value
Recumbent bike is easy to assemble. Took me less than an evening to do it. Programs work as specified and ride is smooth. No jerking. Would recommend this product. Do have similar experiences with heart rate monitor and starting out at easy level as others. All in all though it has good programs and is sturdy. Worth the investment. I am getting a lot of use out of the bike already.
Excellent
I followed the advice of Consumer Reports and am not disappointed. Extremely well built and rugged. Easy to assemble. Has many programs although I haven't used them yet as I am rehabilitating from knee injury. Looking forward to utilizing all functionality when I am fully recovered.
Great for a home bike
This bike was easy to assemble. The parts all seem very well constructed and the instructions were easy to follow. I had some trouble getting the seat to lock properly so I called customer support and my experience with them was excellent. They sent me instructions by email and then called to see if the solution had worked and amazingly then called a few weeks later to see if I was still satisfied.
The Bike itself is very comfortable, stable and sturdy.
All in all I have been most pleased
Excellent exercise bike!!
Saw a review of this bike in Consumer's Reports which gave it a Best Buy recommendation - we are VERY pleased with the bike and glad we bought this particular make and model.
