V-fit MC1-09 Magnetic Upright Cycle Exercise Bike - review, compare prices, buy online

Being of a certain age (over 50) I was a bit dubious of purchasing this item. I am not one for going to gyms (cant be asked to apply make up etc to look good whilst excercising). As I live in a 1st floor flat, I found it unsurprisingly light to carry up the stairs. Secondly I had to put it together!! The instructions were very easy to follow and I managed to get it all put together within 45mins. (Not bad for an over 50s blonde from Essex). I have used it every other day since purchasing it and along with cutting down on calorie intake have managed to lose a total of 18lbs in a few weeks. What is very good about it is that it is quiet and the tension can be increased or decreased depending on how energetic you feel for that session, albeit after a good drink or in the cold light of day!!!I can cycle for a whole episode of any of my chosen programmes on T.V. (with or without the wine), work up a sweat and feel the burn. Otherwise just put your favourite playlist on your ipod and cycle for ages. So overall my advice is dont bother with overly priced machines this one does the job!!!

My husband had a spinal operation in November 08 to remove a cancerous tumour. He was unable to walk without a frame...had the idea that an exercise bike might help, and he can now walk unaided for short distances. Thanks for the miracle bike!

Bike has no resistance whatsoever, might as well just lift your legs up and down. Do not buy unless you are an invalid.
