    Searched high and low for an affordable (not cheap) exercise bike and ended up with this Active 10 bike from Schwinn because it was on sale at Amazon and had free shipping. After using it for a couple of months now, I can confidently recommend this product if you’re not looking for all the fancy bells and whistles. It has what I need: user memory so it saves my settings, pulse and calorie meter, different workout programs, very compact design and super quiet. The only things that are lacking for me are the absense of water bottle holder (which I can buy separately at any bike store) and no place to put mp3 player or book. Otherwise, for the price, it’s perfect.

    I bought this bike because it was on sale so I was able to get it for $[...]. Which is why this review is more positive, it’s good for the money but as a bike it’s just decent.

    My main gripe is the shady design with both the seat and the bars. The seat is extremely uncomfortable. The ‘upright’ positioning is also really uncomfortable, nothing like the gym bikes I’m used to. The seat actually points away from the bars so you need to be hunched over in order to reach them. While the seat itself is on as tight as it will go it still spins around which can make an uncomfortable seat even more uncomfortable during movement (Which is what the product is for)

    As for the bars the design of the bike allows you to have a few different positions, I prefer the more ‘normal’ bike position as opposed to the straight out one because I have fairly short arms and with the seat pointing away as it does it makes it almost impossible to reach. But the slightest of pressure moves the bars up and down, even with it screwed as tightly into place as possible. This can get really annoying when you’re trying to push yourself to just go that extra .5 mile and all the sudden the bars jolt down and scare the hell out of you.

    The calorie counter on the bike has no way of setting in your weight so you have no idea how many calories you are actually burning. This wouldn’t be as annoying if somewhere in the manual they told you what weight they are basing this calorie counter on and I could do the math myself. It seems like a pretty basic question, (the reason I decided to buy it was the calorie counter, it was required) If a 120lb person is on it for an hour they can burn up to 504 calories, a 170 lb person can burn 819 a 230 lb person can burn 1197 a 300lb person 1480 (source= [...])these numbers are vastly different and a device with fitness in mind should actually keep fitness in mind and know that not everyone will be the same. Because of this I’ve had to basically ignore the calorie counter and go by the mileage and try to look it up online to get the ‘real’ amounts. It’s like having a scale that will weigh you correctly, but only if you weigh 150/lbs.

    The tension settings on the bike are pretty excellent. Theres 10 (?) or so of them, ranging from absolutely nothing to feeling like your leg pressing 50lbs with every rep. You can change your tension at any time without having to play around with a menu or resetting anything which makes it easy to switch it around. When the bike was first set up the higher tensions would make a loud whirling noise but that quickly went away with use.

    Another thing this bike is great on is space. I didn’t have much room but it’s really nice and compact (I’m guessing at the expense of comfort, it takes up less room than a reclining chair.

    All in all, it does what it has to but it certainly doesn’t excel in many areas. If I had known then what I knew now about it I would have spent more money on a better model. But it works and it’s better than nothing. The goal of getting something like this is so you can work out more, but the uncomfort and flaws in bike deign make it really hard to motivate yourself to get on it.

    This bike is great! Got it and set it up in under an hour. Installation is straight forward. The person who rated this one star, Im pretty sure you were installing the left pedal the WRONG way. At first I went to install the left pedal and had the same problem as you! Then found out that the left pedal is threaded COUNTER-clockwise and the right pedal is threaded clockwise like normal. Make sure your turn the nut for the left pedal to the LEFT not right. Bike has great resistance and extremely quiet.

    I like to bike, but don’t like the cold. I was looking for a inexpensive but decent exercise bike. For the money, I’d be surprised if you can find a better value. It was delivered quick, and I put it together in about an hour (really easy). The ride is very smooth and quiet. I really have no complaints about it. Lots of bells and whistles. You can set it to be very challenging or take it easy if you are a beginner or recovering from injury. Highly recomend.

    First I was impressed by how easy assembly was. I had it together in about 45 minutes. It has enough adjustment in the seat and handlebars to where I was able to get it very comfortable quickly. I’m short so I was worried that would be an issue. Between the reviews and the instruction book I figured out the programming system. It’s very stable. I’m not sure what I think about the seat yet but it could just be getting used to it. I spent 3 days looking at about 15 bikes before I settled on this one. Couldn’t be happier!

    I received this bike for a Christmas present. I had asked for it specifically after reading favorable reviews. (and, of course, based on the price!) It was pleasantly easy for my husband and I to put together and I jumped on it right away. The bike is quiet, the seat adjusts from very high to very low, even lower than what I need (I am 5’2″), and it feels sturdy. The battery powered screen has a place for your pulse, calories burned, time, miles, and speed. This bike is quiet enough to sit and watch tv while riding and you can hear your show just fine. My butt did get a little sore from the seat, but I got used to it. The bike is easy to move around with the wheels, however it does stay in place once you put it down. I recommend to anyone looking for an affordable exercise bike.

    I needed a stationary bike after a total knee replacement surgery. Decided on this item due to v.good reviews it received on amazon.com. Received the bike in beginning of Dec.’09 and I love it. It works for me well. It’s well designed and built. Manual is clearly written and there shouldn’t be any problem(s) with assembling this bike.

    I purchased this bike based on price range and reviews. The other reviews were dead on and I’m very grateful for their input. The bike was easy to put together and is very quiet. It’s nice and sturdy for both me and my husband. I’m very happy with my purchase. It was exactly as advertised.

    I purchased this bike cause I needed a heady duty one (handles up to 300lb body weight) and one that just plain works well with a basic electronic console. The instructions are easy to understand, the console has 6 programs, calorie counter, heart rate monitor, speed and distance and elapsed time. There are 8 resistance levels as well. The bike is solid and built very well and I am impressed since it is a $200 bike but seems built like a $400 one.

    I recommend this bike to anyone who wants a well constructed, very very quiet and basic bike that works as it should.

    After opening the box, the number of bolts, washers and screws were less than described in the manual. I called customer service and they responded that some assembly is already done and that’s why there aren’t as many as shown in the manual. So I put the bike together and it was fairly simple. Only one washer didn’t match (regular washer versus curved) … that didn’t really matter, it worked.

    The performance of the bike is everything I expected it to be. Very quiet which I love! The resistance levels provide a good workout. Note the programs that come with it are more geared toward how fast you are pedaling and it does not control the resistance. You control the resistance with the knob. This is a good product for the price.
