This is the latest addition to the home gym, living next to the Elliptical and Treadmill. I mostly got the upright bike to cross train, since my primary indoor exercise (until it gets back warm) is the treadmill. It's hard to improve if you are working the same muscles everytime, so that's where the bike comes in.
My first one came damaged, I usually ship stuff like this FedEx because UPS is too rough, but didn't. Anyways it's Amazon so they sent a replacement right away, I have never had a bad customer experience with Amazon. The replacement came FedEx and was in perfect shape.
Setup took a couple of hours, didn't really track exactly bus basically a Saturday morning. The directions are not great, but there is only one tricky piece which is the handlebar column and the electronics.
There are a couple other reviews about only working for people 5 foot 10, I am 5 foot 11, but there should be no problem for people much taller. I don't think they realize that there are 3 different adjustments, the front handlebar moves forward, the seat moves back and the seat moves up. The only obvious one is the seat moving up, so my guess is they had the other two in the default position. I think you could make the correct adjustments based on your physique to easily accommodate someone over 6 feet.
The workout is good, there are several different programs. I usually do more manual mode stuff so I can't comment to much on the programs. There is one that tries to keep a certain heartrate and adjusts resistance based on that which is nice. I will probably try the hill next to see how that does. The resistance levels are very good, I've never had a problem getting a hard workout.
I'm happy with this machine, the only con was I really could have gone with the higher end Schwinn which is made by the same company and save a little money, but Amazon was out of stock and I didn't want to wait. Overall very happy with the machine and the cross training it provides.

I purchased this particular bike after watching the movie review on Amazon, coupled with the positive reviews I read here and on other websites. Here's my opinion of this bike after several weeks of use:
Pros
* Bike feels very stable, and very well built.
* Functionality is superior. I am very pleased with how smooth the pedaling motion is with the magnetic resistance feature in this bike. Feels like I'm riding a real bike.
* The bike is exceptionally quiet when pedaling, no matter how fast you are going.
* Computer is very user friendly, and easy to see/manipulate. You won't need a degree to know how to operate it.
* The fan feature, although not as strong as I would like, does help you cool off a bit. It has 3 adjustment levels, but to be honest, I can't feel the difference between them.
* Water bottle holder comes in handy.
Minor Cons
* The seat feels uncomfortable, even for short distances. I just ordered a better seat as a replacement. A larger/padded seat should come standard for a bike in this price range.
* The seat has many adjustment levels. However, you have to screw the post all the way out of the way to allow the seat post to go up and down. A lever with a handle would make it much easier to adjust like on many other bikes I've used.
Overall, this is a very good machine that is worth the money, and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this product to you.

After reviewing a number of upright exercise bikes (Schwinn Active 10, 120, 140 Upright Series Upright Exercise Bikes)both on Amazon and at my local sporting good stores (Dick's, and Sears), I chose this bike for the following reasons:
- # of pre-loaded workout programs (11+ the ability to create custom ones),
- the look and feel,
- the display offered the ability to track time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, resistance,
- the brand, and
- the Polar heart rate program.
The unit arrived quickly to my home and I was able to assemble it easily within 2 hours. The instructions were easy to read and had a reasonable level of detail. In all, not a bad experience with setting up the unit.
My wife, daughter and I have spent the past three days exercising on the unit and have found it satisfactory for someone no taller than 5'9". My wife's reaction was that the unit was smaller than she had anticipated, but found nonetheless, performed greater than expected. The unit gives one the ability to set up user profiles and I did find that this part of the documentation was not as detailed as it should be especially in terms of setting up custom workout programs. However, my daughter - 14 years old was able to within five minutes, navigate the menus to quickly start a work out.
At this point, I would recommend this product to a friend or colleague.
