Marcy F0900 Berkley Exercise Bike

The King of Exercise Bikes?

Advantages: Excellent range of functions, comfortable, easy to use
Disadvantages: I think its a touch expensive at £200

asking price, I think its a bit steep. The problem is YORK are perhaps trading off of the quality of their brand. If your prepaired to look away from the big brands for a second, this is what you can get for £115. MARCY DS 417 Magnetic Cycle Smooth Ultra Quiet Action 8 Varying Levels Of Magnetic Resistance 7kg Aluminium Flywheel Self Levelling Pedals With Toe Straps Transport Wheels Large LCD Display Monitors Distance, Speed, Time, Calories And Pulse Height Width Depth 129cm 52cm 85cm Weight 27Kg Ok so this bike does not have the same number of programmes built in to it, but its £85 cheaper and from a physiological point of view will do exactley the same job in the same level of comfort!!!! In conclusion, this is not a damning review of the york C201, it is a fantastic home exercise bike. It offers comfort ...

Review of York C201 Anniversary Upright Cycle

Very good, reasonable exercise bike

Advantages: Cheap and durable
Disadvantages: Pulse detector

I think that this bike is perfect for light users. I bought mine in Jan 09 and have been using it daily ever since. It is incredibly easy to build, anyone could do it!! It has clear concise assembly instructions and all of the tools are included. I love the pulse counter on the handlebars, but it does take some doing to get it right as it doesn't always pick up your pulse. You have to get your palms in exactly the right position for it to work. The bike also has a great range of 'gears', which would suit any level of fitness/workout. The only downside I can think of is the magnets can be a bit 'sticky' when you first use it. Overall it's a pretty good exercise bike and I would recommend it to anyone. ...

Review of Body Sculpture Exercise Bike BC-1670

Basic bike- don't fall for the frilly edges

Advantages: Cheap, does the job
Disadvantages: Extra features are unreliable

I bought this bike for around £20 (brand new) from a popular catalogue store's clearance warehouse. My initial advice regarding this product is this: If you see it at a clearance warehouse retailing at around £20, and you really want an exercise bike and don't have the free cash to get anything more flash: get it. If, however, you see this bike retailing at it's RRP (that's somewhere around the £80 mark), then walk on by, because it's really not worth it. This is one of those products that is a bargain in the right circumstances. I'll tell you why, in a little while. First, the good bits. It's a cheap exercise bike. It comes 'flat-packed' in three main parts- the main body, the seat and seat support, and the handlebar support. The handlebar, pedals and stand are all included, and have to be attached once the main sections are put ...
