Best Bike For Bad Knees (2024 Update)

I live in a very humid, tropical environment where sulfur emissions from a prior lava eruption continue to pollute the air and cause everything metal to rust. After our 1960's Schwinn cruiser bicycles became rusted beyond repair, I searched online for new bikes. The sixthreezero bicycles looked really cool and the prices were fantastic. I did not expect the quality to be anywhere near as good as it is! It is extremely comfortable and a breeze to pedal also! The paint color is very retro and cool; people compliment the bike whenever I ride Amazingly, TWO years after I have purchased it, my bike has NO rust anywhere! This is practically unheard of in our location! We live 5 blocks from 3-month long active lava eruption that continues to emit sulfur into the air three years later! If I had to say something negative about the bike, I can't think of anything I would change about it! Their customer service team is top notch! Anytime I email them, they respond almost immediately! I would recommend this bicycle for men and women of all ages. I am 61yrs old and our teenage neighbor loves my bike as much as I do!Odie

I bought this bike to try to get in better shape. The reason I wanted an electric bike was because I wanted to push myself and then use the electric only to ride back if I pushed myself too far. Plus I needed a way to get back home to accommodate multiple musculoskeletal issues that I was afraid would leave me stranded and struggling to return on a manual bike. I haven't rid a bike in years so I was hesitant to spend this amount on a bike I hadn't test driven and I lacked confidence in my physical ability as I have multiple disabilities. First off this bike has changed my life. I started off riding a couple miles and being tired. After a few weeks I was up to 5 miles multiple times a week. I'm so excited to have a means of exercise that gets my heart rate up, doesn't exacerbate my disabilities, and is enjoyable. I have had my bike for 2 months now and last month I rode 70 miles and met the weekly recommend moderate activity for multiple weeks in a row. I have done 7, 8, 9 mile rides so far. I originally thought I wouldn't get my heart beat up much with an electric bike but to the contrary. My fitbit shows my rides and where my heart increases to fat burning and cardio. Now I have plans by the end of March to ride 6 miles to work and 6 miles back 2-3 times a week. I couldn't have even imagined this goal as a possibility 2 months ago and now this is realistic. This bike is comfortable and is a joy to ride. The seat is cushy and comfortable. The hand grips are comfortable. I have issues with my hands and was worried about pain but this hasn't been a problem and I'm quite comfortable with the grips and angle of the handlebars. This bike is sturdy and comfortable. The battery lasts a long time. I could probably ride 4 or 5 days 5-6 miles a day until I need to recharge. I usually recharge every 2-3 rides but that is because I'm the type of person who fills my gas tank up when it is 3/4th full. I see the battery go down two bars and I'm on it with a recharge. The cons: I had a squeaking sound and couldn't figure out what was causing it, but I didn't look. I assigned figuring it out to my boyfriend and he said he was going to try some WD40. I'm not sure if he used it or did something but the squeaking sound went away. My breaks squeal a little. I haven't walked through the steps they provided to do a break tune-up so it is probably user error. I think I'm going to assign this to my boyfriend too. The battery came loose a couple times cutting the power. I just noticed it was tougher to pedal and stopped the bike to push it back in. The final con was I really wanted the cream bike but after waiting for three months global supply issues meant I would likely have to wait another three months. So they gave me an option to wait or switch to a bike in stock which is how I ended up with the Navy bike. It is very nice looking and I'm pleased even though it wasn't my first pick. I highly recommend this bike. It was easy to assemble. I think it took me an hour because I carefully read and reread instructions to make sure I did it correctly. I love this bike. It is super comfy and gave me an outlet to be physical activity. I was really struggling with the prospect of never being able to do anything physical until I got this bike. So I'm serious when I say this bike changed my life by giving me back my life. Now I have cute little accessories on it. Love it and look forward to many rides to come.Jeni

After purchasing an electric bike from Six Three Zero for myself, and being pleased with what I got, I ordered a second one for my wife, a 250 w Around the Block. I am just as pleased with this one as I was the first. The assembly instructions were straight-forward, all the parts were there, and it went together easily with a minimum of adjustments. I experienced one problem, with the lock for the battery, but that was instantly dealt with and a new replacement arrived in a matter of days. My wife had not ridden a bike in a long time, but she is now enjoying joining me on our tours of the country roads that we are lucky enough to be near. And, if we go a bit too far, all we have to do is turn up the juice and head back home. Thanks Six-Three-Zero. We will enjoy these bikes for years.George C

This lefty is a lot of fun to ride and gets a ton of looks. The gearing and brakes are great for a commuter bike. Riding position, grips, and seat are comfortable. Micro shift drive train works great. The paint job is a wicked flat black that looks great in person. The rubber strip along the top bar is genius. Nice to be able to lean a bike again a car or whatever without it falling or scratching anything. The lefty fork is not just a gimmick, it makes the bike lighter and even able to change a tire or tube without removing the tire. However there are a few negatives. The stock tires are terrible, I have had three flats in one month from thorns. I dunno what the deal with these tires is, but seems to be a really common complaint. Chuck em in the trash if you buy this bike. Second is that if you remove the front wheel, you have to remove the front brake caliper, and re align it to put the wheel back on, so if you have remove the front wheel to put the bike in your car buy some of those disc brake chocks. Third is the squeak from the hub, mine only squeaks when moving the bike around and not riding. I have lubed the seal well, but still kind of annoying to have a bike this expensive squeak really loud. Last but not least the drop out isn’t very wide or flat, I pull a Thule chariot cross a lot and fabbed an adapter so the hitch doesn’t damage the dropout. The pros of this bike definitely out weight the cons and you get to ride something unique and fun.Schwebel

I ordered on the internet without seeing the bike. I was initially given a 3 week delivery date. The next day it changed to 2 week delivery and was accurate. I'm 6'2" 190lbs and I bought a XL. It's a perfect fit with 2-3 inches of clearance when I stand over it. I wouldn't buy a XL unless you're at least 6'1". Overall it's a very nice frame with decent components. The brakes are very strong and responsive. The tires are excellent for the road with good feel and grip. The derailleurs shift more than good enough for recreational use. Comfortable rider triangle with not too much weight over the bars. Now for the bad news. The frame is a bit stiff compared to the chromoly bikes I'm used too. The seat is not brutal, but not comfortable either. I'm definitely getting a new seat ASAP. And lastly the front hub squeaks and you have to put WD-40 on it. With all that being said I still love the bike and highly recommend it. It puts a smile on my face whether I'm strolling, or going for a new lap time around the local velodrome. Mine arrived looking slightly used and scratched (suspiciously like a floor model). But when I called customer service to complain the rep. was very professional and courteous. I was given a fair discount and I'm very happy. REI has shown good business ethics and I will certainly shop there again. And believe me, I would have trashed them and/or the bike in this review if I had a bad experience.Falcon77

I absolutely love this bike. I live in Phoenix, within blocks of South Mountain Park, the largest municipal park in the United States. I ride on trails there with mountain bikers, I ride streets, roads and bike paths with road bikers, it's a do anything, go anywhere bike. I love the uniqueness of the single fork, which draws a lot of stares or comments. Do I wish it had shocks? there are times when I'm in over my head in SMP when I do, but 90% of the time it is just wonderful.Mike in Phoenix

The bike itself is great. It is very smooth and light. Seems to shift well and has needed no adjustments yet. The saddle is extremely hard. I believe giant should ask what size saddle you would like because they definitely are not one size fits all. I am not a large person but more attention should go into the saddle. The handgrips are uncomfortable as well. I bought my wife a LIV Alight and her grips are very nice. I'm happy with the bike but feel like Giant could have spent a little more time on the saddle and grips.D Muscle

Good bike overall. First thing is that it's much "blacker" in person than online. The online pic makes it look kind of metallic grey but it's really metallic black, or at least very dark grey, very very dark. Very stealth! Second it's a good overall bike. I had the Escape 3 disc last year, because post-covid you had to take what you could get, but it got stolen (my own stupidity). The front-end on the disc version was ridiculously heavy – overbuilt steel fork and heavy mechanical disc breaks (stay away from "entry-level" disc breaks, esp mech disc. "Light; strong; cheap: Pick 2"). The fork on this version is much better. It's still steel (but go for the carbon one if you can on the Escape 1) but it's somewhat lighter and the bike rolls better and handles/steers much better as well. The disc version steered like a boat with its big, heavy fork. This one is much better. It's a little heavy because it's a hybrid with entry-level parts (at least they're mostly Shimano) but it's nicely balanced at least. This is actually my 3rd Giant Escape (had an Escape 0 before with 10-spd Deore). I like them because they fit me well (fit is the #1 thing on a bike. Well fit and weight), last long and are well balanced. Good bike overall. I will say that I'm not to happy with the recent trend (and not just post-covid as it was happening before) in bike pricing in that you now have to pay well over a grand to get at least Deore. I blame disc brakes (also, entry-level disc breaks on anything other than a mountain bike, or if you're consistently riding in the rain, are useless – heavy and mechanical. Rim breaks are perfectly fine, esp linear pull. We rode on linerar pull rim breaks on mountain bikes for years and had to use a regulator on hybrids because they were too strong). Overall I'd recommend this Bike. I'd give it an A for what it is (entry-level hybrid). But, again, go for the Escape 1 if you can as it has a composite fork and hydraulic disc brakes. Enjoy!psmith

This bike is good for the price and works really well for the intended purpose. Even the V-brakes are good enough for urban riding, which is what I guess most of us are going to use it. Stock tyres roll well, have flat protection, but need some caution on wet roads. The saddle was a very pleasant surprise. It's firm but extemely comfortable even with jeans. No need for chamois. My main gripe is the entry level transmission which is noisy and not so reassuring. Rear derailleur is fully plastic so won't stand much abuse. The other complaint is the terrible, terrible grips. Overall it's a good commuter but if you can afford it go for a pricier model for better components. Otherwise it's good for the price.Mits

The bike is actually not bad for a single gear. I’m 5’7 and the size small works for me. The components feel comfortable and the bike feels well made. Brakes work well. I feel the size could be about 2 or 3 inches longer so my feet won’t hit the tire when I do a sharp turn but that is just a personal preference. I’m not a fan of the tire value because it’s new to me but it does work. The color is really nice but the paint needs to be thicker so it won’t chip. My only complaint is the bike showed up with about 5 deep scratches. You are able to see the metal. I called and the Retro did send me touch up paint. The Rep also said to send it back at no shipping charge. The issue with that is the bike was already put together so it was not worth taking it apart and trying to put it back in the box. The bike also came wrapped in a protective cover but that still did not stop it from being scratched. Overall I do like the bike and feel it’s a good investment and stylish.Benny F.

I bought this bike based off of the outstanding reviews that I had seen, however, I was less than happy when I received it. Upon arrival, pieces were missing for assembly. It was over a week before I received the replacements. On my first ride, the chain came off and I had to walk back to the house. It’s been over a week of going back and forth with customer service trying to get it fixed but the chain will not sit correctly. At this point, I can only hope for an exchange because I don’t trust that this bike won’t have more issues in the future on my commute; I think I got a lemon. That said, the bike looks great and is lightweight.Dominic D.

A few years ago, though living in suburban America, I gave up a car for a bicycle (and occasional rideshares for business). A lifestyle-choice experiment that lasts to this day. All the while, the old-school, pre-owned 10-speed bicycle I owned was a nearly 20-year old already pre-owned purchase. Recently, it was time for me to let go of Ol' Faithful, and so I began a journey… At first I made the mistake of chasing after deals per well-known name brands… 1st bike purchase from a department store, a disappointment, so I returned it. 2nd bike, from another department store, such a let down with defects, also returned. At some point, I left behind my local department stores and various online department store searches… I took my goal more seriously! Then I discovered a few *authentic* bike shops with online stores… Early on, sixthreezero stood out above the rest for it's straightforward messaging and ease-of-use website. So, then I found a good value-for-price option for me to buy direct from their online store, the sixthreezero EVRYjourney Men's Casual Edition 26" 7-Speed Sport Hybrid Cruiser Bicycle, Matte Black. Once, I researched the online resources sixthreezero provides and the history and philosophy of the brand, I decided to also purchase their Forever Warranty. Considering that the shipping cost was free, the total purchase price was an amazing value. As a work-from-home veteran, I'm also a technophile and online-buyer/home-delivery enthusiast. So, I could have a lot to be critical about anything going wrong with the purchase process, the shipping and handling, and/or the product quality or support. Turns out that I have nothing but GREAT VIBES and GOOD THINGS TO SAY about this product! Despite the current 2020 economy downturn, the delivery of my new purchase was predictable and well-tracked and reported with updates along the way, and then complete within about one week as promised. Their bike-in-a-box complete solution leaving me to complete the assembly was as simple as I could imagine. You've just got to go the website and watch an unboxing/how-to assembly video for the model bicycle in which you're interested. You'll get it. For my own interest, I also downloaded and consulted the PDF complete assembly manual. As assembly proceeded, I was impressed and gratified with the feel of the quality and craftsmanship of the parts, materials, and frame of the bike. There were a few very minor discrepancies between the video walkthrough and the tools and parts that arrived in the box, but nothing that my brain couldn't sort out and realize that I for sure actually had absolutely everything as promised. (I think the version, model of my bicycle seemed like a new listing on the online store; so I allowed for these minor incongruities without thinking much of it.) After dealing with the lesser quality and mishaps of assembly with the previously store-bought bikes, I really came to appreciate the "legit bike shop with an online store" approach of sixthreezero. As well, after having dealt with the department store staff who would assemble the on-floor bikes, I came to realize that having the uber-experienced legit bicycle experts at sixthreezero assemble my bike to the out-of-the-box 80%-assembled extent really makes a difference! After putting in my own time to assemble the bike the rest of the way, I was actually grateful for the relatively minor amount of assembly required and the video companionship to walk me through it. (And, I am the sort to hire a handyman to do anything hands-on!) For the first time ever in my life, I have a sense of accomplishment and know-how and ownership of my bike like I've never had before. Last, not least, riding my new sixthreezero EVRYjourney Men's Casual Edition 26" 7-Speed Sport Hybrid Cruiser Bicycle is bliss. First of all, the model of the bike is perfect for me. (Be sure to leverage the Choosing a Bike section under the Bike Advice tab at their website! For example, I certainly used the Bodyfit Explained post with their FREE BODY FIT QUESTIONNAIRE.) After having bought and test-ridden and returned a couple of other bikes, ultimately riding my new EVRYjourney Casual Cruiser feels solid, easy-going to handle, and like I now have the right bike for the best value! A smooth, solid, trustworthy ride.gregk

After owning an expensive 21-speed Schwinn, which gears locked up several times, i really wanted a simple 3-speed. The box was extremely damaged; staples were missing, the remaining two were hanging loose; large v-shape rip in cardboard, two holes punched through, including at the gear hub, which plastic protector was discolored (and had fallen off) from hard banging in transit. Bike, unlike Sixthreezero assembly vid, was even difficult to remove from box, given tight packing and contents banged around. Acquaintances advised me to return it. The simplicity of 3-speed, however, is the reason I kept pushing to get the bike functional. Assembly is not "easy", as per description. i could assemble quite a bit but centering the front wheel with adjusting the brake pads, brake handle and cable required a professional (with fee). He also tweaked several spokes; he was not impressed with the bike. It arrived July 5; Tuesday, July 19, finally got it ready to go. The shimano gear was very smooth at first, then a couple clackety-clacks; but, objectively, I might've switched gears too fast or they may be very sensitive. Given the state of shipping box and banging at the gear hub I'm concerned about gear longevity. We have a few more days to try it out before the deadline to return. The matte black finish shows all hand- and fingerprints. Front brakes still unevenly grab the rim. Seems like the value doesn't match the price. I paid $806.47 tax $9.99 shipping; then clicked on my still-open bicycle page and found it had refreshed to a price of $479.99 (40% reduction) and out of stock. Sheesh; what a frustrating experience.jgh

I'd rate my EvryJourney so far as about 6-7/10. It's extremely comfortable to ride and the pricing was great for a bike that sixthreezero's website claims can more than support my weight. The problem is that about a month after receiving the bike, it started making this horrible scraping/grinding sound. It starts after riding for a little while (0.5-1 mile) and becomes increasingly louder and more difficult to pedal. Since it continues even with the brake arms open, I think it's the rear wheel. Support told me to take it to a local bike shop and they'll reimburse me. Hopefully my local shop can fix it. Without that problem it would be an easy 10/10.djte

Purchased for my parents…87 and 90 yrs. old. They are stuck at home due to Covid19_x000D_ and can't go to the gym or anyplace else for that matter. This was really easy to assemble_x000D_ and it is easy to use. Small and light enough for them to move around. They both use the_x000D_ cycle several times a day and love it! Great purchase…arrived when promised!Kathy B.

Perfect! Just what I wanted. I read a previous review that this Peddler was purchased for someone who had a knee replacement. I looked a quite a few models and that comment sold me on this model. After putting it together which took about a half hour, I tried it out and it'll work for me come November when I'm scheduled. Some say the highest tension level isn't enough but for what I need it for, it's just fine.Dana

Love this. Even my son mindlessly peddles away when he plays Xbox. Ok so here's the skinny. This has a knob with numbers for you to increase the tension if you like. I'm doing cardio rehab so on days I can't get out and walk, this is my best friend. It's easy to move around. My mom loves this. She came over and sat on it the whole time she was here. It's very smooth peddling.Andrea

Same bike I bought 4 months ago. I am a old big guy and they both are awesome- put second one at lake house. Extremely strong, welll manufactured and easy to set up and adjust exercise level. 30 minutes on these bikes and thirty minutes on under desk elliptical bike per day has really helped.dkm531441

Hadn’t purchased a *new* bike in quite a while, after some research I chose the Giordano Brava for well <$500, despite sheer lack of reviews and “popularity”, it checked all the boxes I wanted: hybrid, quality gears, front shocks, disc brakes, nice design, very reasonable price, and the few reviews I found all agreed. It took a bit of extra assembly knowledge, and I paid my local tech $20 to calibrate the Shimano shifters (just do it), and I’m happy to report it’s an excellent ride. It feels beautiful, handles multiple terrains very well, and looks awesome doing it. I added a couple accessories.. kickstand, lights, RockBros device holder, Verbelli air pump, otherwise it’s good to go. Just wanted to share since it seems to be a very unassuming hybrid among hundreds of options.Steve Burrows

Best bike ever ! Diamondback has made a comeback! Best bike for beginners Diamondback customer support is awesome too! Do yourself a favor and buy this bike!!Scott

I’ve only put about 50 miles on it, but so far, so good. Bought this after some quick research—seems a good set of features (my must haves were disc brakes and Sora or better components) for the price. You can obviously pay way more for better or less for less good! Moosejaw had a promo code that applied that made this a stellar deal! Didn’t hurt that the yellow looks good and Moosejaw is the best. Assembly, according to my in house assembler, was very simple, though getting the derailleurs just right took a little doing.zeee

Came into Moose Jaw to purchase a bicycle. Gabe helped me get set up. I gave him an idea of what I was looking for in my price range and I couldn’t be happier. Other staff also helped me out with picking out some gear. Everyone was friendly approachable and knowledgeable. Im pumped on my purchase and have already put 100 miles on my bike. Thanks guys.KeithHouseRules

I love my bike. I've had it for 3 full summers with almost daily use and have been super happy with it all around. It's so comfortable, very stylish and easy to attach a basket and trailer (both of which I use regularly). It's very slightly more cumbersome to lift onto the bike rack on the car, but that is by far made up for by the quality and comfort of the bike.jmc315

Purchased this bike even after checking lackluster reviews. I rode it in the parking lot to make sure it was ok and immediately noted the rubbing sound as I peddled. Shifted the gears so I could see if it was intermittent but found it to be noticeable at every one. Took it right back inside and the salesman took it to the back and he advised the assembler was there. He came back and explained that the gears needed to be broken in a bit and the rubbing/ scraping would settle down. I made sure it was returnable and then agreed to try. I don’t know why I fell for that. Son came over to my house to check it it out. He noticed it and after we both rode it, found it still rubbing noticeably. Son advised it was improperly assembled or just poor quality. Disc brakes also were not tight. Pretty heavy for a hybrid, but sturdy. I’m surprised the Professional assembler” didn’t ride it and adjust before handing it over to anyone! I expected more from Schwinn and especially from Academy. Took it back! Surprised at the poor quality. It was a very pretty color, though.New Smyrna gal

I bought this bike a few days ago. I plan on biking 3-5 days per week in the spring, summer, and fall. I did some research and decided to purchase a hybrid since I will be using the bike on roads and light trails/paths. I am 5'4" woman and wasn't sure if a men's bike frame would be too much for me to handle, but I tried out many women's bikes and found men's bikes to be more comfortable. The Schwinn GTX2 700c men's hybrid bike was in my price point and was very comfortable. When I got home and went on my first ride, I noticed some issues with the gears. When I was in a lower gear, there was a persistent grinding sound that didn't subside. When I was in higher gears, there was no grinding sound. I brought the bike to my father-in-law, who used to build bicycles, and he said the bike required a few adjustments in the gears and chain. Thankfully, he was able to make the adjustments without any cost to me. My first time riding the bike, I noticed how uncomfortable the seat was. I know there is a period of getting used to riding a bike, but the seat was so uncomfortable that I figured it would deter me from going on rides. I went back to CT and bought the Schwinn Ultra Air Pump Bike Seat. What a difference! The new seat is much wider and much more padded and comfortable. I tried buying a rear bike rack but none would fit the bike. The holes in the bike frame to attach the rack didn't allow enough clearance for the screw between the frame and the gears. And the type of racks that attach just under the seat didn't work either. There wasn't enough room between the frame and the seat to attach this type. So instead, I purchased a removable basket for the front of the bike. I also purchased a water bottle holder, a bell, a lock with word combination, helmet, and trunk rack. While I have only biked twice since I bought the bike 6 days ago, I am very excited about the bike. I have owned a few bikes in my life and find this to be the most comfortable. And it looks great also! The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is that I had to purchase a new seat since the seat that came with the bike was so uncomfortable. I definitely recommend this bike!TinaMarie

It is a good (was red) bike, I did on it more thet 5.000 km. Changed transmission, brakes and tires, changed handlebar and cables, changed seat and pedals. The issues: heavy in general, front suspension is heavy, pedals can harm you and scratch your skin, cheap wheel parts, cheap brakes, cheap transmission, expensive for him parts. This bike is good only for fitness during two seasosns. After two seasons you should change transmission and fix other issues.Radu

I had gotten really into spin workouts at my local gym, but found it difficult to get there sometimes day to day. So, I started researching spin bikes that could work in my home. I was on a budget so was definitely trying to keep my purchase below $600. After a lot of research, including trying some bikes in shops, I landed on this one and I am very pleased so far. It's super easy to set up, is very quiet and sturdy, and has met all of my expectations and needs. I love that even if I only have about 30 minutes, I can hop on the bike, get in a good workout and go about my day. Before that would have been at least an hour between getting to the gym, changing, and my commute home, which means I worked out much less than I do now. I've only had the bike for a month, but so far, I really love it!Shannon

I only bought this bike last week, but I love it so far! I researched for months on different sites and different products. I was hoping for the iC4, but it's out of stock everywhere. This one was in stock and available to pickup. All the issues I've read about seem to be related to mishandling during shipping. I followed all assembly instructions, especially pedal installation, making sure they were threaded on straight and then tightened with the wrench. The bike is super quiet. I've preemptively bought some silicone lubricant for the wheel and brake pad after reading about noise. I watched some videos on maintenance and it's super easy to care for. I think a lot of issues come up because people think you don't have to take care of expensive equipment. The seat is a traditional racing seat, so it's uncomfortable if you have a big butt like me, but I bought a padded cover and it makes it more bearable. I'm 5'9" and heavy and the bike is big and sturdy enough. I'm not sure how accurate the display numbers are, but I'm also not such a serious rider that I need the most accurate stats; I just want a good cardio workout and hopefully drop some pounds. The only regret I have is that I didn't buy this sooner!amber74

I bought this bike ~9 months ago, to replace a cheap one that, while it looked like this Schwinn on the outside, had a resistance mechanism that just didn't work. What a relief it was to get on this IC3! I've been riding ~6X a week & it's still working well. My favorite feature (besides the fact that the resistor/brake function works) is the horizontal adjustment feature for the handlebars. If I can't adjust the handlebars both vertically & horizontally, my hands fall asleep while riding. No worries for that issue with this bike. As several reviewers have noted, the "computer" is pretty awful. The timer works (mine loses about a tenth of a second per minute, but that's not a big deal) and the rpm meter, when you can see it (seems like it's always on mph when I glance down) is accurate. The calorie count is a flat 13 calories per minute, no matter how fast or slowly you go, so that's not even vaguely right. The unit rarely picks up my pulse transmitter, but when it does it's laughably inaccurate, to the tune of 50bpm high or low. I don't know if the distance is accurate, because I totally don't care about that. It should be, but given that this unit was clearly programmed by people who don't bike, I wouldn't bet on it. On the other hand – see those down-facing brackets at the top? If the top one disappears, you're going under 60bpm. That could mean that you have so much resistance on that you're going to blow out your knees, so that's a handy signal to have. Despite my grumping about the monitor, this is a really great bike. All most of us need from a monitor is to know how long we've been pedaling & enough bpm info to make sure we're in a knee-safe range. And this monitor does that just fine. The bike is outstanding – sturdy & responsive. And both the seat and the handlebars are adjustable in two dimensions, hooray!MegM01

When I was trying to assemble the bike, I found the front tire wasn’t round, the breaks at the sides of the tire were moving, so when I tried to ride the bike, the breaks scratched the tire even thought I didn’t touch the breaks handle. I bought two bikes, one of them isn’t open. I’m gonna return both of them, bad purchase experience .Qunfang

We looked at the different stationary bikes for some time before ultimately going with this one. I wasn't worried with 'riding w/others' & didn't find a reason to have the specific shoes especially since it's 2 of us. It's quiet & the dial for resistance is smooth. Handlebars are positioned well comfortable. Seat could be a little cushier, there's a possibility to replace that part. Also, no need for a monthly subscription, which apparently you need for others to work. Overall, I am very happy with this bike & would recommend for those who are self motivated & can either watch regular tele or pull up a workout on Amazon Prime. For me, I just couldn't find the need to spend twice as much to be in the 'in crowd' riding what everyone else is, but that's how I roll! Oh, and easy to put together & doesn't take up too much space, a bonus!Crickett

I bought this bike from Dick's about six months ago. I use it almost every day and am quite happy with it after a few additions and modifications. First, the few negatives: I modified the water bottle holder so that it is more forward to avoid hitting the bottle when standing. I swapped the pedals that came with the bike for SPD pedals which work with my mountain bike shoes. I didn't find the JRNY app to be useful. The bike display is OK except for the cadence/RPM display. I have no idea why they use that bar rather than displaying a number. I use zwift and the bike pairs with zwift nicely and displays cadence in the zwift app along with heart rate and power. I'm not certain how the bike reports power and there's some evidence that it overstates power. I don't race on zwift and only do workouts and group rides so I'm not really too concerned about having accurate power numbers. Here are the good points: The bike is very stable and comfortable. It has lots of adjustability to fit the rider. The saddle is remarkably good for a stationary bike. The magnetic resistance is great and very responsive. The bike is absolutely silent and very smooth. The bike is a very good value for the price. It's not quite a full smart bike because it doesn't adjust resistance automatically based on changes in terrain when using an app like zwift. I don't downgrade it for that because it doesn't claim to do that. I knocked off 1 star based on the water bottle holder position and the cadence display. (I would rate it 4.5 if I had that option). This bike is made by NordikTrack and is branded as Schwinn IC4 and an almost identical Bowflex C7 which only slightly differs cosmetically. NordikTrack could easily fix those two issues. Several users reported problems with the pedals included with the bike. I didn't use them as I swapped them for the SPD when I first started using the bike.man with dog

It’s a great solid bike! I don’t have a ton of experience with bikes and I’m not an avid rider, but this seems to be on par with other brands! My husband enjoyed riding it and I think it will last for years to come.taylor .r

I received these bike for free from Influenster and Kent brand in exchange for my honest review. I had my husband trying the bike he states that is very easy to use and very light so far he really likes it and enjoyed it he went around our neighborhood. This bike looks stylish and has all the much-needed features for a smooth ride! The bike seat is well cushioned and really comfortable. Brakes on the handle act much quicker and stronger than the paddle ones. I’m pretty sure he’ll continue using it.he loves bikes!sherley.m
