Amazon.com Product Description
Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 230 recumbent exercise bike. The 230 boasts many of the high-quality features of the Schwinn 213, but adds several extras, including a nicer, easier-to-read instrument panel with a three-position angle adjustment, a slightly lower pedal height that produces a more comfortable riding position, and an easy step-through frame. And that doesn't even account for all the essentials, which range from 16 resistance levels to handlebars with an integrated heart rate monitor built into the grip. The handiest feature, however, is unquestionably the anatomically designed recumbent seat, which not only offers a dual-position lumbar support for added comfort, but also a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider that accommodate a variety of body types and sizes. Other details include six preset programs (calorie goal, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode,

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.

Great workout. Love the programs; wonderful low impack workout. Would highly recommend. We did have problems putting the bike together the first time. The right paddle wouldn't attach correctly. My husband called the Amazon Customer Service Center and explained the problem. They were WONDERFUL, and told us they would send us a replacment bike. They had UPS pick up the first bike the next day and I had my replacment bike by the next week. We had no problems with the set up of the second bike.
 A good product July 22, 2010

A solid bike. I bought it for my wife to use, as she has a spinal injury and cannot ride an upright. She's been using it almost every day. It is well built, easy to assemble, a smooth ride.
i love my bike! July 20, 2010

i had knee surgery and was told i needed to ride a stationary bike daily to "wake up" my muscles. this is the ideal bike b/c there was nothing in the middle in front of the seat to have to step over. you just walk up to the seat and sit. i also have lower back issues and the lumbar support is excellent! it took me longer than average to put this bike together but im thinking it was due to the fact it was so hard for me to bend over and squat (pretty much impossible when your knee isnt bending much after surgery). i saw reviews of a tattered box and broken plastic parts inside. my box looked pretty beaten up but there was a lot of stryofoam and everything was well protected. all the tools and pieces r there and everything is outlined for you in the manual. if you are looking for a recumbent bike, this one is a great deal and quality. i definitely recommend it! =)
EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY! July 17, 2010
GINNY
MY DOCTOR RECOMMENDED A RECUMBENT BIKE AS A GOOD FORM OF EXERCISE FOR A SENIOR WITH SOME JOINT PROBLEMS.
MY CHOICE, AFTER SOME RESEARCH, WAS THE SCHWINN 230. IT HAS MORE THAN MET MY EXPECTATIONS. GOOD CHOICE OF PROGRAMS, QUIET, AND OFFERS AN EXCELLENT WORKOUT.
THE ASSEMBLY WAS IMPRESSIVE, WITH ALL PARTS LABELED AND CLEARLY WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. ABOUT AN HOUR TO PUT TOGETHER.
ALL THIS AND RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE AS WELL. EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE SCHWINN 230 AS WELL AS WITH AMAZON.COM.
Awesome recumbent exercise bike. July 15, 2010
