ProGear 100S Exercise Bike/Indoor Training Cycle with Heart Pulse

I cannot say enough great things about this bike. First of all, it was easy to assemble. I had it together in about 40 min. Second of all, it is very compact, and easy to move around your chosen work out space, if needed. It is also very sturdy for the price. The fly wheel is easy to up or lower your resistance which is nice (I tend to bike with youtube videos and it is easy to "switch gears" during a work out). The seat adjusts easily if you are sharing your bike with multiple persons in one household. I love the digital reader to not only keep track of my miles and pace, but also my heart rate. The only thing I would say is the original seat is very hard. This was easily fixed with a standard bike seat cover for $10 and now is super comfortable to ride.This has made working out so easy in my life! I've lost 27 lbs in the 4 months I've had it, and will continue to recommend this piece of equipment for anyone's home gym!

I started working out at home, so I decided to buy several things that would 1) work and 2) not take a lot of space. I went back and forth with deciding to buy this bike because I knew it would be a big purchase and if it didn’t happen to work, I didn’t want to deal with the return and headache. Well, no need to return. It has been one of my favorite fitness related purchases – aside from the Bosu Ball. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and definitely recommended to anyone who wants to get in shape and get a good cardiovascular and leg workout.The bike came earlier than the expected delivery date, which is always nice. It took me two hours to assemble, which to me it was not bad at all. I assembled the bike all by myself and don’t have much experience with assembling anything, especially not fitness equipment, so two hours was NOT bad. The assembly manual was easy to understand and all the parts were perfectly labeled. The bike came really nicely packaged and secure.It is big enough to feel comfortable and steady and small enough to fit it nearly anywhere. I live in NYC and the apartments here aren’t huge and it is perfect. The bike is also very beautiful so it does not look bad if you just leave it out. The seat is comfortable, so I don’t think I would be buying cushions for it.More importantly; I have definitely loved working out on it and feel fantastic I am done with the bike. So, in conclusion, if you’re thinking about buying it, definitely do so. It is 100% worthy and fantastic.

I've had this for a few weeks now, so I think it's time to write a review. I wanted a budget-friendly stationary bike because I live in a place with summers so hot the Devil himself abandoned us long ago. On days when I see mirages coming up off the pavement and hear cicadas all around, and I can't bring myself to go outside to run or ride my bike this is a good alternative. I typically do a 30 minute workout of moderate intensity and so far, so good. It hasn't fallen apart yet. I am 5'7" and I think this would work fine for anyone up to 5'11" since. The seat post has a good adjustment range.Putting the bike together was easier than I expected. The instructions were actually pretty clear and it took me about 3.5 hours by myself. It probably would have been quicker with help since some parts were awkward to hold together while attaching screws, but it's doable. One perplexing note is that I had two leftover bits that were not mentioned in the parts list, instructions, or pictures. They were two six inch pieces of tubing that looked the same as the base. Perhaps they were in there to protect some other parts during shipping. At first I was concerned, but I looked really hard and they don't seem to go anywhere.Overall the bike functions as expected. It's steady for a small stationary bike, fairly comfortable when adjusted correctly, and not loud. The little computer isn't terribly useful, and the housing for it is cheaply made plastic that doesn't fit very well, but it's not an important piece so I'm not inclined to care too much about it. The water bottle holder is flimsy at best and only holds slim bottles, which is disappointing but not a deal breaker. All in all, this is a good piece of equipment for the price. Sure, more expensive bikes are probably better, but this does what I need it to and I'm happy with the purchase.
