I wanna Exercise Bike !

horizon

Hi

As is usual at this time of year, I have my relatives asking what I want for xmas.

.........and as usual I haven't got a clue !

I don't really need anything. We have just moved house, and have way too much stuff already. (I couldn't get it all in the removal wagon !!)

The only thing I do need is a new exercise bike. I broke mine about 6 months ago. Replaced it with a cross trainer, which I couldn't get on with, and have now passed on to a friend.

I'm thinking of asking them all for vouchers to the same retailer, and using them towards a new bike.

The question is which retailer ?

I want to buy a good make, very sturdy, and long lasting.
I am expecting to pay £200 upwards for one.

Can you reccommend a good make / model ?

Where is the best place to get a good discount on one in the new year sales ?

TIA

I've had mine for about 6 years, used daily, well practically . It was from Argos. It's made by York & is called Magnaforce. It's very sturdy, a friend borrowed it to see if he'd get on with it & he's around 22 stone (only supposed to be used up to 18 stone though I think). Wide comfy seat so you can do an hour+ without feeling as if you're being sliced in half! Has a pulse monitor too.

Thanks for that, I'll take a look.

I have had a look round trying to figure out what is a good make.
York and kettler are about the only ones I could find that looked good to me.

I used my previous one almost daily, until one of the welds snapped low down the frame, and I was pedalling on the lean !

I managed to lose two stone whilst using that bike, unfortunately since not having it, I've put it all back on and a bit more !
