Marcy Magnetic-Resistance Upright Bike

We've had this for a few months now, logged a little over 150 miles. This bike is solid. It says 300lbs, but I weigh more than that, and it handles me with no problem. There are no bells and whistles, but it does what it was designed to. Great product, especially for the price.

Just so people understand what I was looking for in this bike, I am female, 24 years old, 5'8" tall, and about 180lbs. I bought the bike for the purpose of doing a brisk cardio workout for 30 minutes a day, 7 days a week in order to lose weight and get in shape. I read tons of reviews and looked at many models before deciding on this bike and the research paid off. It was easy to put together (my boyfriend did it, but I watched and it looked fairly simple). It comes in a really small box so it can fit in your car if you pick it up from the store. After it is assembled, the bike is still really small, it fits right next to the couch, and is approximately the same depth as the couch. The ride is exceptionally smooth and silent, it doesn't even disturb the dog and she barks at any sound. There are different tension levels, I started at a 2 and in three weeks have worked up to a 4. The computer screen is dark so you need to be in a well-lit room or have really good eyesight to see the numbers. The bike is really sturdy and while the seat was uncomfortable at first, stick with it and you will get used to it. I really like this bike, even more than some of the expensive models I test-rode at other stores. It's also really easy to move, it has wheels on the front and isn't too heavy.

I read all the reviews and this seemed to be a good deal. It is!! It is a terrific bike and I'm using it every day. Yeah, that tension thing can be a bear to put on, but other than that, it's relatively easy to put together. My bike arrived in good shape, no dings or parts missing (except for one of the little wrenches). It is TOTALLY silent, so you can watch a movie. It wheels easily from room to room. I've been totally out of shape, so I'm not too worried right now about resistance. Like a lot of bike seats, the seat isn't the most comfortable, but I still ride it for an hour at a time with no problems. Would very much recommend this product to anyone.

After doing a price comparision for bikes costing upwards of $300 plus, this bike came up. I actually took the time to speed read through the 200 plus customer reviews to try to get as much pros and cons as I could. The price point and high reviews won me over & it was SOO worth it. Im 5'8 about 150, fairly athletic (not a slob, not a marathon runner..I fall in between), so I was worried this wouldn't push me enough, I was wrong. Setting the bike on 7 or 8 will definitely get you sweating. My husband, 6feet, about 150 comfortably uses it too with his long legs. I assembled it myself and it took me a long time (a couple hours) and you will need a wrench(doesn't come with one). Some of the screws and bolts are already assembled into the bike, so if you're looking for the "missing bolts", they're not missing. One thing I super struggled with was assembling the tension cord on the bike. I thought there was a manufacturing error because the cord was shorter than the bracket it needed to be in, but just pull it REALLY HARD and it will give way and fit in the bracket. Does not need electricity(awesome!) AND indeed it SUPER quite. The only noise people will hear is your breathing! Seat is a bit hard, but not as hard as I thought from the reviews- comfortable enough (like any bike). LCD screen counts minutes, distance and calories. Again, I highly recommend it. You will get a great work out and its a quality bike for the price..If it came preassembled, I'm sure it would cost a lot more, easily. ENJOY! =) oh yeah, did the "deliver to store" option, saved on shipping and received it in about 2-3 days!

I checked this bike out for a few weeks before ordering it. At first, I was hesitant because the price is so low and I was skeptical of the quality. However, with this low price, I figured in the worse case scenario I'd just return it at a local Wal Mart supercenter. Another issue I was concerned about was the seat. Looking at the picture, the seat looks pretty small. Not good for a big fella like myself (6'2" and 260 pounds). Well, after receiving the bike, all of my concerns were put to rest. Not only is this bike of a very high quality, it was also easy to assemble in about half an hour, and the seat is actually fairly wide and soft for an exercise bike. It's almost like a beach cruiser type of seat, only not quite. I've put in a few hard workouts on the bike and I have no worries about it being unstable or falling apart. It holds me just fine. The resistance is harder than some other reviews lead you to believe and at level 4 I was huffing and puffing. This bike has more than enough of a resistance for most people working out. I plan to use this bike several times per week in my cardio routine. I would recommend it to anyone looking a good quality bike, that is light enough to move around the house and also light on the wallet. NOTE: One note on assembly, the bike comes with an allen wrench which you'll need for the bolts. But you will also need a wrench (I used a crescent wrench) to tighten the larger bolts that hold the legs on, once you have it assembled. So you'll need to supply your own wrench.
