DeskCycle Under Desk Bike

{"reviews":[{"body":"This is just the best way to keep moving, although I do not have a desk so it is sitting in front of my chair in our great room and does sometimes get in the way. It is a wonderful way to get some exercise while watching television or reading.","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":945361,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2018-11-12 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"lois","user_image_url":null},{"body":"This is excellent for anyonw who is behind a desk for work. It ia low impact and you can easily change the resistance. It is a bit heavy, but nothing that is too cumbersome. A recent knee cap injury prevents high impact exercise and this citd the bill. It is also very inconspicuous so you can use it at work ubder yiur desk.","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":945362,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2018-11-09 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"Gundamman","user_image_url":null},{"body":"I originally purchased an inexpensive one and it was horrible so I returned it and got this moderately priced one.I adore this one. Quiet, sturdy, smooth, and stable. I also enjoy the display tracker that I can put on top of my desk.","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":945363,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2018-11-08 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"PrimEval","user_image_url":null},{"body":"I bought this bike because like many of us I am sedentary all day while I work. I work from home so I don't even get the exercise of walking through a parking lot or building to get to my desk. I really needed to get in some extra exercise and this is the perfect solution.The Bike is completely silent and fits well under my desk. I am 5'4.5\" and my desk is 27\" high. My knees do not hit the top of the desk. I did have to remove a drawer but with the drawer in place my desk was only 25\" high. I do not like to use the strap to secure my chair because I need to roll my chair at times while I work. I simply roll one of the legs of my chair over the back of the desk cycle and it holds my chair in place while I cycle. Then I can unhook my chair leg whenever I need.I do computer work but I also hand make things at my desk. I have not had a problem doing either. If you are worried about getting sweaty while you work, get a small clip on fan with a usb charger and clip it to your monitor. A small fan isn't very loud and can keep you cool while you cycle. I have only been on a low setting so far but have been able to cycle for about 5 hours of an 8 hour workday. You won't even realize you are doing it sometimes and be amazed how long you have gone. Cycling for 5 hours on a resistance of 2 will burn anywhere from 300-600 calories depending on your weight. This is about double of the calories you burn just sitting there. So if for example, you would burn 400 calories just sitting there, you will burn 800 doing the desk cycle at a slow and easy pace for 5 hours.5 hours to burn 400 calories might seem like a lot of work, but it is so easy it really is worth it. Your legs will be sore by the end of the day and you will feel so much better mentally and physically not having just sat all day long. I would absolutely recommend buying this!I think this would be great for using in the evening while watching television, talking on the phone or any other task. I would not replace all other exercise with this but if you want to burn hundreds of extra calories a day it is really worth it! I would place it under a table if I wasn't using it under my desk and pay bills, fold laundry, paint your nails. You can do all sorts of other things while you cycle and the feeling of accomplishing burning some extra calories while you accomplish other tasks is a real mood booster too!I love how the display has a long cord that you can put on the top of your desk. Make sure you look online to check your calorie burn. The one on the display is not going to be accurate but online you can enter in your weight\/height\/time\/distance and get a more accurate calorie burn estimate. You will not regret buying this if you sit all day at work!","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":945365,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2018-11-04 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"Julie","user_image_url":null},{"body":"Ordered this product in Feb. 2016 and it's now Nov. 2018, so I've been using it regularly for almost 3 years.

I wanted to have some other way to keep my body moving even while working. The desk cycle has been a wonderful addition to my routine. During the times when I sit, I'll inevitably cycle a little. Not only does it get my blood flowing but it also helps to relax my legs after standing all day (standing desk). I have it on a setting of 3 or 4 and I have been able to type just fine. I does move a little on my hardwood floors so I have to figure out how to tie it better to the chair but it is very quiet (except when it moves and the rubber legs squeak a little). It fits perfectly under my desk and overall, I'm just happy for a very low key way to supplement my usual exercise and keep moving.","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":400894,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2018-09-09 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"Ordin","user_image_url":null},{"body":"I'm surprised how quiet this thing is, it's almost completely silent.For someone who sits in front of a computer all day, this is perfect.

It is well-built, fairly heavy, and is whisper quiet. Sitting at a desk over the past 4.5 years has been a bummer, and with a 1.5 hr round trip commute that adds to a lot of sitting. When I would get home my hips and lower back would be achy and stiff.Since I have been using this thing 10+ miles a day I have felt so much better, best part is when I stand up my quads and hamstrings are jelly from actual work. I am on mile 12 of the day, four hours in, so hope to knock out 20 today and build up from there. If you're stuck at a desk, just buy one of these, I really doubt you'll regret it.

I crashed my bike and broke my collar bone. Hated being stuck inside and couldn\u2019t do much because I\u2019m connected to a cool therapy unit by a hose. I got this and set it up using only my left hand. (I am right handed and my right arm is in a sling). I have connected a camel back to the wall behind me and now I can watch TV while still pumping energy into my legs! It really is fun and feels great. Most of the time I\u2019m on level 2 Bc it\u2019s easy but at times I do level 3 and it really gets me sweaty. So I am very happy girl. When I start working again I will happily tether this under my desk and work away. It\u2019s like a happy leg machine!And being happy when you\u2019re out of commission from sports is really important.
