I spent a lot of time reading reviews on exercise bikes, but ultimately decided on this...I'm glad I did! This bike is solidly built and offers some features that the pricier bikes, like the Sole Fitness B94 Exercise Bike don't, as that was the other bike I considered. I found a store to try out the Sole B94 in person and was not impressed, especially with it being priced at $250 more. Livestrong is made by Johnson, which is great manufacturer of fitness equipment. Unlike Schwinn fitness bikes, this one is stable and intelligently designed. The water bottle holder is out of the way, the handlebars are sturdy and can handle spirited riding, there is a spot for your iPod to rest, a magazine/book rest, and a display that shows everything you need. One note, they used to include a USB stick to upload your workout data and I thought it was missing from my box. When I called customer support she informed me that even though it clearly states in the manual that a USB stick is included, they have stopped doing that. That was a little disappointing, but she offered to send me one free of charge. You can use any USB stick with it...doesn't have to be just theirs, but it is nice to have a dedicated one for the bike. Enjoy your workout!
