The bearings on the desk cycle are so smooth it runs as well as an actual expensive exercise bike but you can use it anywhere! Absolutely worth the price and great for anyone who sits at a desk all day. Very heavy however, so it can't be moved all the time","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":1143211,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2019-01-09 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"Claire","user_image_url":null},{"body":"I really like this product. The type of item was recommended by one of my doctors to increase blood flow in my lower legs. I selected this brand based on size and other good reviews. It has a wide range of tensions you can set to get more or less resistance. It is very low but will not work under any desk or table I have. For someone with shorter legs it probably would be fine. But I use it in front of my recliner where I watch TV in the evening and can get a nice hour or two of use without s problem. I can also increase the tension enough that after 30-45 minutes I can work up a sweat, if I want to. It does not replace what a treadmill would do for you, but it provides more specific exercise where I need it. The meter on it is not super accurate, even after following the web site adjustment steps. But it is consistent, so I can tell if I did more or less than previous times. It does NOT integrate with FitBit, but that is not a big issue for me. Other brands offer more sophisticated data but at a substantially higher price. But the exercise activity is the same as more expensive units for a much better price. I recommend it.","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":1143212,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2019-01-08 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"Tom Loughney, AJ4XM","user_image_url":null},{"body":"I found this to be quite comfortable and easy to use.

I started with one, loved it and now have one in every chair I'm typically trapped in during the week. One day, one of them started to \"tick\" or \"knock\" noticeably. I tried disassembling and reassembling it and I couldn't make it stop. I got in touch with customer service and, without hesitation, they sent me a replacement. The process was painless.Product Review: The three I own now have had zero issues. Occasionally, the pedals come a little loose but it is very simple to tighten them up again and has not been detrimental or damaging to the unit. The resistance is great. The height doesn't interfere with me pedaling at a desk (however I am shorter legged). I started logging how much I use the one I have at work and in the life of the log, I have used it approximately 250 days for an average of 17+ miles per use. I have recommended these to family and friends who have sedentary jobs just for the little encouragement that you at least accomplished SOMETHING healthy while trapped at a desk.","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":1143216,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2019-01-03 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"Cass","user_image_url":null},{"body":"Fits perfect under desk, use 1 hour day at work","comment":null,"by_shop_owner":false,"youtube_video":null,"verified_review":true,"id":1143217,"displayed_image_url":null,"created_ts":"2019-01-03 00:00:00+00:00","star_rating":5,"score":0,"user_name":"kj","user_image_url":null},{"body":"Well made.

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":"RN who is use to being on my feet all day.
