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.

I bought this bike to exercise a bit while playing videogames or watching TV. Similar cheaper options had important details for me, like not being able to move the seat, or programs too simple to exercise. And the recumbent seat was a "must" especially for my husband. The only detail I've found is that the screen has no light so during the night is kind of uncomfortable, but other than that is a very good bike that serves its purpose and does not use a lot of space in my living room, another "must" since I live in an apartment. Definitely recommended.

We bought the bike in Feb '09 after my wife's knee surgery to help strengthen her legs. Assembly was easy with no glitches. She has used it daily with no problems and no complaints. For the price, I don't think we could have done better than the Schwinn Active 20.

Amazon's current average rating of this bike is 4.5 stars. That is exactly what I think it deserves...although I have rounded my rating up (by 0.5) to five stars to fit Amazon's questionnaire format.
I am 66 years old 5'11" and 219 lbs, while my wife (in her 50s) is 4'9" and 103 lbs. I was looking for a recumbent bike to cross-train during the days that I take a break from running. My wife needed something aerobic to supplement her daily yoga routine. Despite the differences in our ages, sizes, and exercise needs, this sturdy piece of equipment satisfies both of us almost perfectly. If it were to hold up over time, I can imagine us both using it well into old age.
On the positive side it is simply and solidly constructed, and its components easily fit together out-of-the-box; It took me about 30 minutes to assemble it (using the included tools). Although my wife is small, she has no difficulty moving it (i.e. dragging it) to different locations. The large lever used to position the seat on its frame is very easy for both of us to use. While being peddled it is silent, even at its highest level of exertion, making it a pleasure to burn calories while reading, listening to music, or watching TV. So far it has provided both of us with healthy workouts and its sensors allow us to continuously measure our heart beats per minute while peddling.
On the negative side the buttons on its control consul are non-intuitive, and its accompanying manual is not clearly written. (However, After some minor fiddling we got it to do what we wanted.) Further, its LCD screen is impossible to read under under dim light. Ergo my 0.5 deduction.
In the balance though, this item delivers a lot of value for its relatively modest cost.

So glad I didn't pay extra for shipping.Ordered on a Monday night,recieved it on the following Thursday morning,with free shipping.(Oklahoma)The monitor is a little hard to figure out but after a few minutes playing with the settings I got it set for me.My 6 year old son and I put it together in a solid hour.Directions are pretty easy to follow and all the parts were there.Used it for about an hour and it's super quiet and I never smelled anything unusual.Feels very solid and sturdy and I weigh 300 +.No complaints other than it is very heavy in the box.I had to roll it into the house.Would definitely recommend it at this price.Feels like one you would see at a gym.

For me, this is almost the perfect exercise bike. It offers several levels of resistance, is very comfortable, and easy to use. Perhaps the best feature in my mind is that the seat is extremely easy to change positions in. There is a lever on the right side that you flip up and then you can adjust the seat to wherever you want it. This is a welcome feature since I share the bike with my girlfriend, who is a different height than me. The seat is nicely cushioned and the set programs offer a variety of different workouts. The bike doesn't take up much space either. My only complaints about it is that the screen is an odd shape, so many of the book holders you can get at sporting goods or fitness stores won't fit. I've remedied this by placing a music stand next to the bike and I read off of that instead. Also, there is sometimes a point where one resistance level seems to light and the next resistance level is too heavy. It would be nice if these gaps were filled in with more levels. I've been extremely happy with my purchase though and this seems to be one of the few pieces of exercise equipment that I use everyday.
