Get on, set tension and loose track of time reading or watching TV. minutes fly by and you have done miles and ate up calories
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
The bike is stable but will need a better seat. Unfortunately, the last instruction for connecting the seat unit to the frame was very poor. It is not easy to adjust the bike. However, the bike is a good value.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I have M.S. & purchased this product for exercise regiment, since walking is hard and places where pool use is available are expensive. Great general bike except for two problems (may be specific to myself):
Resistance adjustment knob should be centered, not off to right side (my right knee bends inward);
possible to slide down in back of seat, causing discomfort. I use a pillow to prevent.
The side rail covers did not fit - no matter what we tried.

I use this while I'm reading for school--it's the perfect opportunity to do a bit of cardio and still study!
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
With neuropathy, rods in my back and can't walk to far, my Dr suggested this type of machine. It takes the load off my back and my legs don't get painful, so am working to strengthen them. Within week I could do 20 min at a time and get up pain free. Watch TV and pedal away. Also is helping my weight loss program.

It's quiet, I can exercise and still hear the TV!
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
The bike took quite a long time for me to setup, about an hour or more. Once assembled, the operation is so smooth and quiet. gives me a decent work out to control my cholesterol and diabetes. Did I say I love it because it's so quiet? I can be riding it at 3am and not wake up anyone in the house.
service from Mercantila was easy and smooth. No road bumps, it shipped out very next day and Mercantila sent frequent update via email regarding status of my order.
Delivery was right on time. everything went smooth.

Have it set up to start exercising with low impact since my ankles are very bad. Good cardiac with little pressure on the ankles.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Specifically wanted this for cardio fitness. unable to determine cardio rate as this bike doesn't have a means to determine the rate contrary to the advertised claim.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I will use the bike in conjunction with other pieces of equipment for general health. It has a smooth operation and adjusts to most size people and is quite comfortable.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
easy to use for a light workout while watching tv.Much better than just sitting on the couch!
After putting together my bike it made a loud noise,the magnets became stuck together during shipping. I called c.s. and they gave me a number to call to get easy directionsto fix the problem. They stayed on the phone with me through all the directions as i fixed the minor issue. ( I was told that a replacement is available if I prefered) The magnets moved back into place easily and the bike was perfect! Been happily riding since!

We use it in front of the TV. Exercise time really flies by. It is so easy to use it doesn't really seem like exercise, but you can feel the muscles the next day.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I will use this bike in the morning while reading my newspaper for about an hour and in the afternoon. I think this bike is just great for a 77 year old man that loves to exercise. I also have a pool.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Just right for our age group, especially when our doctor ordered my husband to use one daily. So glad we checked out your website. We have already recommended this product to our friends. Betty M.

Very easy setup. Comfortable to use. Excellent for burning calories and strengthening leg muscles. Probably the best recumbent bike for the money.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Bought for physical therapy. Easier than I expected to set up and fits well into Dad's room. High quality [...]. The sales center staff were friendly and helpful.Thank you for an excellent transaction.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I am amazed at how comfortable this bike is, how easy it was to set up, how quiet and smooth it is, and how many muscles are getting a work out. I really couldn't be happier with it. It doesn't take up much room at all, so it's easy to fit it anywhere you're likely to use it (for me, that's near a TV). Love it, and would recommend it to anyone, at any fitness level.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
[...] Took my daughter 45 minutes to set up! The only thing I would change is I am 5 foot tall and its a lean and stretch for me to reach the pedals. Its not uncomftable when I am like this but would rather sit up straight.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I needed to strengthen my legs without irritating my hip joints, where I have bursitis. This works wonderfully and I can adjust the push as my legs get stronger. My husband uses it too. It is so quiet we can watch TV while using it. I was surprised at how often the nuts on the seat loosened. The instructions do advise to check them before each use.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Great product. When weather's bad and I can't walk for an hour I ride this bike for an hour and get a great work-out. Also love that I can catch up on my reading and do those very annoying phonecalls (bill correction, service requests, etc.) while burning calories. A bit unstable and creaky, but the wheel mechanism is ultra-quiet and smooth. Love it! KM

quiet
fast, efficient delivery
thorough communication
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
This bike is just what I expected. It's inexpensive and light, but fairly well made. It definitely is not a performance trainer, but the resistance is adequate to get your heart pumping. For the occasional workout or physical therapy, it's perfect. Plus it is really quiet so I can ride and watch TV or have a conversation with no problem.
It arrived earlier than expected. Big plus. When I put it together the mechanism was hard to turn with a horrible scraping noise. I am mechanically inclined so I took it apart and one of the resistance magnets was stuck and rubbing on the flywheel. Once it clicked back in place it worked perfectly. This is a simple machine, so it can be fixed by the owner if you know how to use tools.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Great bike. Mom came over, and we set the bike up together, and we've both tried it out. Took a couple of hours, but directions were pretty clear. The handlebar covers were hard to put on. After a few minutes of trial and error, and a quick prayer, we determined that spraying the windex down into the foam covers and rolling the liquid around before putting them on worked like a charm. The covers slid on easily. I liked the spanner tool, it worked well, even though I purchased a 14mm wrench just in case.
The bike is uber quiet. It's a sturday, basic bike. Don't spend tons of money on fancy hoo-ha features, when your ultimate goal is to lose weight and track the distance you've gone.
Get this bike!

great for the price

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I'm over weight and have bad knees. My doctor says I need to get more exercise. Under an hour setup was easy using the included hardware and wrench. It's well built, comfortable, and easy to use. This recumbent bike does the trick in fine fashion.
Talk about quick service and delivery... I placed the order late one afternoon. The bike arrived a day and a half later. It took about 45 minutes to set it up. Bottom line is that within 48 hours of ordering, I was riding.

I would recommend this bike to my friends and family because it was simple and easy to put together and very, very worth my investment.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I was missing out on my cardio, because of a hectic work schedule. I needed something inexpensive, and that did not take up a lot of space. This bike did the trick. It is a bit unstable when you are peddling fast and I am quite small. I would not recommend this bike to anyone that wants to go beyond a nice easy ride at a moderate pace. [...] the set-up fairly easy.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
In the past 5 years, I have gone through two back surgeries, a hip surgery. I have been unable to get back on track as I have been incapacitated. This bike is perfect. I do 15 minutes per day and am startng out slow and working the tension gradually. The back rest is a great feature and the bike , quality wise is great and runs smooth.
The computer scan is great to watch time, calorie etc. Amazing product for an incredible price. Thanks.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I am so pleased to have found a bike that doesn't take up a lot of space, is easy and fun to ride, convenient, quiet...a solution for all my needs!!
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I'm a former tennis pro that fell out of good shape after a career change. I set the machine up in front of the TV, and just have adhered to the vow - no ride, no watch. In combination with a better eating plan, my regimen on the bike has resulted in dramatic weight loss.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I love this bike. I wanted an exercise I could do while watching TV and this product is perfect! It's super quiet and does not take up a lot of space or interfere with the view of the TV.
I had some issues when first using the bike. It was making a loud rubbing sound as I pedaled. I took the plastic cover off and found that the belt was rubbing against the cover. Knowing that, a simple adjustment of the cover took care of the problem. Overall, I love the product and it was well worth the money.
Delivery was prompt! Box was a little banged up, but no damage to product. Fed ex tracking made it easy to know exactly when my product was going to be delivered.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I use this bike as extra therapy for my right knee replacement I had 6 months ago. It is so quiet that I can use it at anytime! Although I put it together by myself it did take me awhile but managed from start to finish! The front end is a bit heavy and I found it was hard to adjust to the length I needed. It's easy to step through, hop on and get going! The computer that you attach is very easy to read and is very accurate. So far, so good!
Delivery was prompt and it arrived in good condition. It was very easy to track this order.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Will fit very tall as well as short people. Does not disassemble easily, and like all recumbent bikes, takes up a lot of room. Several parts are not quite symmetrical, and you cannot tell from the instructions which way they are assembled, except by trial and error. Relatively few pieces to assemble. The adjustment of resistance range is very wide, from very easy to very hard to pedal. The computer is the cheapest looking electrical unit I have ever seen; very fragile case; can't comment on how well it functions since my computer never worked. Never could figure out how to mount the pedal straps, but fortunately, they are not needed. There needs to be an adjustable mount for the computer, a slot on the back of the very thin case slides over a big hunk of metal. Extremely pleased on how well it operates (minus computer); expensive bikes are no better and most not as good. The seat is a little hard on the tail bone, but firmness of seat is needed on bikes. Otherwise, very comfortable.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
The bike is really quiet! We can still talk or watch TV while riding! It's stable, smooth and allows for progressively difficult workouts. The mode reader is great for watching distance, calories and time. Great product!

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I had foot surgery earlier this year. My doctor recommended an exercise bike as a way to get some exercise without hurting my foot. I never exercise, I hate it- but this bike is very easy to use and makes exercising easier. You can sit in front of the TV with your remote! Highly recommend for those who hate exercise!
delivery was quick, bike in perfect condition

This was a Christmas gift for my dad who lives 3,000 miles away, so I have not seen it in person. He had a friend help put it together and it works great he says. I wanted a bike that was easy to get on and off, so did some research and this was the best for the money.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I have had this bike for a little over a week now. I have used it almost everyday. I have a bad knee and this bike does not bother it in anyway. I love that it is so quiet and I can watch t.v. while using it. I did put it as uncomfortable, but only because the seat starts to hurt a little bit after a while-I use it for an hour. So adjusting yourself here and there tends to help me with that. Adjusting the seat also seems to be a little difficult, so I would suggest two people do it if more than one person is using the bike. Otherwise just keep it in one setting. I am so happy I bought this bike to continue my weight-loss and just live a healthier lifestyle. I would definitely recommend this to others.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I have orthoststic hypotension which results in loss of balance, making walking diffult. I am hoping that using the bike will help maintain circulation in my legs.
I have lost much of the dexterity in my hands,but the bike was relatively easy to assemble.
Its ride is smooth and quit. By the way I am 82 years old.
Delivery was quick and free. No problems.

Basic bike. Ok for price. Doesn't have a course to preset and vary speeds automatically if you are interested in that feature. Seat is alittle uncomfortable on your bottom.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Bought the bike to rehab the left knee. Set up easily, would prefer a couple more holes to shorten the distance to the pedals for shorter people. Probably will drill my own holes. Really quiet, smooth. It has plenty of resistance adjustment for what I need, am at 2 now, will increase as the knee recovers. Great product, excellent for the price!
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I have had back surgery & knee surgery and this bike is perfect because it does not make either my knees or back hurt when using it. It gives you a good workout in a short time and is very quite and user friendly. The only down side is it does not show the miles you are going I believe it is in kilometers.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I found the seat a little uncomfortable. So I put my back massager seat on it and I get a massage while I exercise. I am 5'7" and I had to put it on the first hole at the shortest position. Anyone shorter than my height might have a problem. For the money it is a good value. It has all the necessary time, distance, speed and calories burned.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Not a huge obtrusive piece of equipment. Walk-thru style is nice.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
This bike is a good bike. I do not like the look of the simple handle bars, they take away from the design of the bike. When putting the bike together, I found that the square tube that slides for adjusting the leg length was bent. This make the bike difficult to adjust the length. The bike is serving it's pur[ose, but I should have bought one with a heart monitor.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
My husband is a stroke survivor with a great deal of weakness on his right side. This bike will provide ongoing therapy when his work with a physical therapist comes to an end. It is easy for him to use; easy to get on and off; and comfortable.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
The assembly directions are a little unclear( like which pad was for the seat back and which one was the seat). But it goes together easy. It is extremely quiet, I can't hear it make a noise. Compact, doesn't take up a lot of room in my small living room. Better then my mom's that cost her almost $700. Its quieter, smaller, easy to adjust and more comfortable then my mom's.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I am a diabetic and I sometimes have a hard time walking. I have knee problems so a straight up bike will not help me. So I chose a recumbent bike and I can work out at my own pace. And the price is good since I am on low income.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
As a heart failure patient I was looking for some type of indoor exercise option. I have a personal trainer that comes twice a week for an hour but needed to exercise the other five days, too. This bike makes exercise something I don't dread doing. The seat and back are so very comfortable and being able to adjust the resistance is great. I would recommend this bike to anyone seeking a quality exercise bike for a very reasonable price. I love mine!!!!
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
This bike is quiet, easy for a 5'2'' woman to use and fairly easy to set up. It is quiet and I use it to get in extra activity--this is not what I use for my cardio or strength training. This bike is great for getting a little activity while watching TV.[...] Great bike, headache vendor.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I wanted a simple product without all the electronic gadgets that monitor everything. Usually those are worthless. Also, the typical readout panel just gets in your way of watching TV. This unit is very well designed. Assembly was simple (except for trying to determine what piece is the seat cushion and what piece is the back...never did figure it out). The small plastic trim around my resistance-setter was broken in [...]. I called the 800 number, and they sent a replacement for the entire piece with no questions. I haven't installed the new piece yet since the unit works perfectly. I read all the reviews before purchasing this. Some problems expressed by other people just are NOT true: there's plenty of resistance; and it adjusts perfectly well for short people. I can't see any reason not to buy this bike...or any reason to spend more money on a different one.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
The bike simply fell apart before I even started to use it. Unless disappointment helps you exercise I wouldn't recommend it.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Very smooth and comfortable. For this reason, I get a better workout on this bike than a high-end machine at the company gym- you can stay on it longer.
The only drawback is the slide adjustment can be a little difficult and they should add one more hole for shorter people (there's plenty of room for even two).
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Everything is good with this product except the computer isn't reliable, it quits working sometimes mid-workout. Since the knob controls the intensity it doesn't really affect me too much. I'm glad I bought it.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
This is a good purchase for you if you want a low-impact workout. The bike is extremely quiet and comfortable to sit in. If you're not sure if you will like the recumbent bike position however, you should probably sit in one before buying it. It requires you to sit with very straight posture that supports the back-- it's not meant to be a recliner.
I am pleased with the smoothness and resistance of the bike. Note that the resistance settings are manual, so this is more for low-impact endurance building than for an intensive cardio workout. However it is still great for getting your heart rate up and the electronic display keeps track of the time, calories burned, etc.

The resistance dial broke with a perceptible "snap" the first time I turned it. Since then, I've been using the bike with the dial held in place with several rubber bands.

Easy to use and quiet. I've owned it for several years and it still works great.
The seat gets old after a while and doesn't feel level with the floor. 30 minutes is about the limit.
I start out warming up at 6, then put it to 8 for the peak of my workout. 8 is the max; for a really serious stationary biker this max is not enough.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I use it daily to watch my 1/2 hour of TV per evening and my one movie DVD per week. The bike is fine, but the seat is uncomfortable. Even with a back support cushion, my lower back gets stiff when I use the bike. I'd like to find a higher quality seat for this bike, because aside from that, it's fine.

I have MS and can't walk and run to exercise this machine seems like it will work out well.[...]relatively easy setting up took a some work ,hubby had to help when connecting both pieces and hold the handlebars so I could attach them.The back of the seat is very uncomfortable around my lower back,going to add a pillow or something. Like that its not a big huge machine,seems to run smoothly.For the price I'd say it was good.

I love the bike. It gives me a good workout without hurting my back. makes me work my abs to sit up straight
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
All around the bike is good. However, adjusting the seat for a taller or shorter person is not the easiest.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Great value for money and very easy to use. Perfect compared to the overpriced bikes out there, however the installation of the bike was more difficult than expected (the insertion of the seat into the main section did not fit the plastic coupling.) Also the tension twister was cracked upon delivery.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I have fibromyalgia and severe arther in my knees. Doc told me NOT to walk. Only use a recumbant bike. I never thought I would find one I could afford. Affordable and easy to use and just what the doc ordered. Seat could be more comfortable but overall just great. graet for our freezeen Iowa winters.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
It was set at level2 when I received it and I have not been adventurous at experimenting with other levels as yet. So there are no problems with the bike for me at this time. I was delighted with it's solidity and it is truly a " recumbent" bicycle while the ones I had used before in gyms and at a physical rehabilitation facility were not. So I prefer it to the more expensive bikes I've used. The assembly required another person.I have given it 4 stars because I have not adjusted the level , my experience is at the 5 star level.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
All around nice quiet easy smooth ride, can peddle away and hear my t.v. while I sweat away. Occasionally the peddle straps come undone as they are not really fastened on well, but for the price and quietness of it, bike is definitely worth it. assembly would have been a breeze if it wasnt for a bent piece of metal which i had to hammer back into place to, also take the manuals advise and use windex or water to slide on the foam handle covers. Doing it without was an excercise in itself.

The bike was not as shown, frame would not adjust and the seat was flimsy.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
This bike is just what the doctor ordered for me as Ihave been diagnosed with gout of my feet and can no longer do high impact arobics.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Easy to setup and a great value for the money. Does not have all the bells and whistles, so made for someone who is willing to track and adjust that themselves.

I have a bad back and hip so am limited to what I can do for exercise. This is a great addition to my house, very low impact exercise yet it is a good workout. The bike will give everyone the work-out they want it all depends on the person using it and how hard they want to work-out. It Works, Thank You!

My wife has Sciatica and was out of commission for a little over two months. Having this bike at home is allowing her to get the therapy she desperately needs and according to her to trimming down her problem areas. As long as she is happy and healthy, I am a happy man.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I try to work out on the bike once a day for at least 15 minutes. I like the bike because it is a smooth ride, stable and comfortable. I do have difficulty adjusting the intensity, however. The knob doesn't want to stay put.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
My daughter leaned sideways and the seat (under part) just snapped in two. I still can use
the bike but am annoyed that it's really
"broken". Other than that, I really like the
comfort and ease of use. Best used with
music or t.v.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
The only difficulty with the machine is that you really need 2 people to put the bike together.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Had a small bushing broken [...]. One phone call to Phoenix and within 2-3 days I had a replacement part.Mainly used for phys therapy after knee replacement and general conditioning.Overall a fine choice. So smooth compared to the old exercycles 20 or so years ago. they were so bad I vowed never to have another exercise bike. Glad I broke my vow with this machine. For the price a great value.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
After 5 spinal column surgeries, this is great to get some exercise and not do further damage to my back. It looks great and adjusts easily. And it doesn't take up much space.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Bike sets too low, I thought the bike would set up higher. I had hip surgery, so I need a bike that sets higher, very hard to get up and down from bike. Was very disappointed in that area. Would recommend to others only if they do not need it to set higher. Good price. [...]

I am disabled with a back injury riding my bike is the only aerobic exercise that I can do.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Adjusting the seat to accommodate more than one rider is too difficult. It should be one easy motion.
The LCD is useless. You can't even restart it for each workout.
The rubber for the handle bars is so difficult to "slip" on makes you want to skip it.
It seems cheaply made so I hope it lasts.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I use it three times a week in the morning.
Easy to shift around to see television when I need to.
I slip off the seat because I'm short. the seat adjustment does not allow me to get closer to the pedals. I still like it and use it regularly. I'd give it an excellent rating if the seat fit were better.
delivery was prompt. easy to setup. looks good.

Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
Using it to rehab knee after replacement surgery. Perfect for low impact therapy.
Comfortable to use compared to upright bike.
Good customer support; As shipped my bike had a broken bushing. One call had a new part on it's way, no questions and extremely courteous response.
Comments about Phoenix Phoenix Magnetic Recumbent Bike - with FAST FedEx Shipping:
I'm 5'8" and the bike even at it's minimum length adjustment causes me to slouch in order for my feet to comfortably fit the pedals. This means I have to adjust the seat beyond the minimum, resulting in no adjustment lock of the length. Then, the bike length increases as I use it because it's not locked.

Use daily for basic exercise routine. Seat is a little too firm and it takes two people to adjust (slide is very stiff). Otherwise excellent product for the money.
