Yes they do leave a calling card. I was lucky and they did a Saturday delivery for me for the cost of a weekday one!

Lucky you.
I stayed all the day in (went out for 1 hour) waiting for my order to arrive.
I'm so angry and hungry (nothing in the fridge and couldn't go out, now it's 5.00pm , free to go. Time to complain. Who's fault!

They left a card for me also.

Can you get a trackingnumber from newitts and phone tnt to get a day of delivery ?

Copied from me, on another forum:

OK, got it. And set it up (quite a big job and it weighs a ton - 32kg!) and it's working. As an exercise bike it's brilliant - I've not used many but this feels very secure and strong. 8 different difficulties, speed, calories burnt, distance travelled etc. All very good, easy to use. The saddle isn't great but it's not awful either.

So as an exercise bike, highly recommended for £60.

As far as PS2 controlling goes, a bit hit and miss. It does work, but it only offers digital control. PS1 games seem to work best, Gran Tourismo is VERY hard to control since rotating the pedals once counts as pressing X. Meaning you have to stop pedalling to stop accelerating, so it's stop start.

The best one I've found is Driver, take a drive mode. That works pretty well to be honest, although it gets a little bit boring after a while.

I think that next I'm going to try and find simple games that I can alter the controls of - turn of X doing anything and just play with the controls on the handlebars - probably better. Bloc Buster (that budget title) might fit the bill perfectly though I think.

So as a PS2 controller, it's a complete gimmick that doesn't work really. That said, it's better than nothing and as soon as you bore of it you've got a very good exercise bike left.

Seems that someone has latched onto the idea, selling Driver on ebay with the sub-heading "Works brilliantly with Reebok Cyberrider" - I'm famous! At least they're selling it at a good price, cheapest BIN on there...£2.50 inc. p&p. No box, but it's got all the covers.

I might buy one myself if I didn't already own it...

:rotfl:

EDIT: It's here .

Got it all set up now and tried some ps1 games.

F1 2001 Disaster! To fast cant slow down quick enough.

Toca2 Time trial, much better but get on the grass and you spin out. Will take some getting used to.

Ridge racer Type 4. The best of the bunch. Again time trial only but as it is a simple game with just steer and brake it's ideal. Great fun 20 mins without even realising!!

Ill try Driver tomorrow, don't want to over do it!!

Very quiet to start with, but it's making a clonking noise from the left pedal. Anyone else had this problem or found a fix?

Very impressed so far, it's a sturdy piece of kit.

Argos do a add on if anyone already has an excercise bike! Not as good a bargain as the cyberrider though!

HTH.
