Hello all,
I'm considering buying an indoor bike and wanted some ideas and if you have
firsthand experience, let me know.
It would also be a bike for my dad to use. I'd like it to be somewhat
accessible meaning there are buttons or knobs I could press or turn to get
it started and adjust basic features such as the resistance.
I know that no bike will talk to give access to the display info. With my
low vision I might be able to see it, but if not, having the tactile buttons
will enable me to start it independently.
Since it will be used by him, I would like one with many seat adjustments
and a supportive seat so as to not tire out our glutes and rear end areas.
Also, it would be nice if the bike had a cup holder to place water or
something in it and a stand to place a tablet or smart phone; I say this
because then we can place the tablet there and listen to music or watch tv
shows. I have heard of bikes that have ports to connect to Ipods and
Iphones; I am aware that the good simple Apple Ipod is no longer sold but I
still have one.
I've seen Schwinn is a model of recumbent exercise bikes as well as the
synergy recumbent bike. Line too online.
Are there bike combos? I mean a bike that gives you a bike workout and arm
cycle workout or maybe something that lets you stand up on it so it will act
like an elliptical too?
I have heard Bowflex is good but do not know about accessibility of it.
Thanks,
Ashley
