About Recumbent 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.

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, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

This is certainly a "best buy" for your "exercise" budget. Well made, stable, and heavy.

Very heavy and somewhat difficult to set up. Seat a little hard to adjust for different sized people. I'm 6'4", 250 (losing a little with this), and am at the limit for size. I'm also extremely mechanical minded, own a bunch of tools, and still had some probs with assembly. Rides very smooth, really gets your system pumping, easy controls, etc.
I would purchase it again knowing what I know now.

I received my shipment in a battered box just like everyone else. All was intact (just like everyone else). I am a 56 year old women and it took me three hours to put this together. Once I got the bike together the levels would not change. I called customer support and he asked me to check the connections on the computer. This was the difficult part. The wires with the man/female connectors is not long enough. You have to connect it to the computer and than feed it through the post that holds the computer and connect it at the bottom. If you are not careful when you are putting this together it can come loose and than some part of the computer doesn't work (mine was the level button). I was able to get it connected and back together and it worked fine. The bike is great for the price, good quality, quiet, and smooth. The seat is very comfortable. I enjoy exercising again. I highly recommend this bike, their are more pluses than minuses.

After reading the reviews for the differnet recumbent bikes I chose the Schwinn 213 for my first home recumbent bike. I was nervous about having to assemble the bike myself and had the number of a professional handyman handy. To my suprise the bike was very easy to assemble without any help. I loved the way the directions and screws were laid out in the order that you use them. I blocked off an entire Saturday to assemble my bike, I was finished in under 2 hours.
There is only one negative thing I can mention regarding the 213 and that is that there is no on/off button and motion near the bike can activate it oterwise I love it, it adjust perfectly to my 5'4" height and the seat is vey comfortable.

I've been using this bike for four months and am satisfied. It is very quiet, the tension controls work well and the programed workouts are varied. The only drawback is that I am fairly short (5'4) and the angle of the LCD screen is a little hard to see when I'm sitting on the bike. It would be better if I could adjust the screen a little bit lower but that is a small quirk. When I bought the bike I got it on sale ($360) and received free shipping. When it arrived the box had broken and it was in pieces but everything was there and undamaged. I reported it to Amazon and they gave me a $15 credit for my trouble.
