Hey everyone,
So here's my dilemma.... I used to be a right fat waster. I am now a less fat waster. I lost most of the weight (about 3 stone so far) by getting my butt out and about on my bike. The problem is that I'm very much a fair weather cyclist. Now before you all tell me to MTFU, I'm trying but i need to face the reality that its not happening at the moment.
SO......
I'm looking to get an exercise bike so that I can get the heart rate up regularly without leaving the comfort and the warmth of my apartment. Trouble is, every one that I've tried has felt far too small (I'm 6'4) or cannot cope with my mass!!! (now down to 290lbs but as I said, still a fat waster!!!)
Anyone got any recommendations/knowledge of the exercise bike market??? I can't go for a turbo trainer as I cannot keep my bike in the apartment
Thanks in advance
Trixter x-bike is the only one worth considering
unfortunately, the lottery win is yet to come in so my budget is probably more near the £500 mark
cannot believe the price of that stationary bike.
Find yourself something like a Johnny G or Startrak or Schwinn spin bike on ebay
£450 for an x-bike
they are absolutely the best, plus extra stable base.
I retract my lottery comment!!! nice find iDave, Thanks.
Any knowledge on what they are like for those of us above average height??
They're pretty well suited for all sizes
Solid, ride really well, and you get the upperbody element to the workout
If you already have a bike that fits you, why not buy a turbo trainer?
A big strong one?
Always happy to help.
