[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Recumbent Exercise Bike, and samsung tv

[Annette Carr]

Hi,

A few months ago we purchased an upright bike, S1Ui Upright i.Concept Bike.
It has physical buttons that are easy to operate.  This company also makes
other types of equipment, so maybe they have the type of bike you are
looking for.

It also has an app for the iPhone that lets you control the bike, as well as
select the type of workout/ride you want.  It also provides feedback on your
speed, distance and heart rate.

So before you get too excited about the app, it has some serious
accessibility issues when used with voice over.  It was my intension to
contact the company about this, but then the microwave saga consumed my
time.

I have been using an iPhone app that obtains your heart rate by having you
put your finger on the camera of the phone.  It is fairly accurate.  I've
been experimenting with apps like the motion monitor included in the iPhone,
Pacer,  and others that track your steps and activity.  So far I'm not
totally happy with any of them, but it might be user error more than limited
app ability.

There is a NFB Fitness Division.  Maybe they have a recommendation.

HTH,
Annette

I'm interested in knowing that. I've searched before to see if there was any
exercise bikes that had a talking chip in it to be able to keep track of
your distance, to be able to use the timer, to hear the numbers for your
heart rate, and there might be a few other items one can do that I'm not
remembering. I would really love to have an exercise bike like that. For
another possibility without a talking chip on the bike are there any apps
for smart phones that work well with exercise bikes?

I think it was Mike that had the samsung tv. We called our best buy here in
oklahoma city, and they had it for $219, I think it was only until today. 
Anyway we want to get one of these  samsung tvs this weekend. I don't know
how much it will be after the sale. Anyway, Unfortunately the link you gave,
Mike, for the demo of the bike didn't work. I was wondering if you could
send it again. We would love to hear it. Thank you.
