Exercise Bike

We have brought a secondhand bike and are unsure if the tension is correct. A few people have tried it and said it seems too high and the settings do not vary that much.

Bikes I have tried in the past have gone from low to high so virtually anybody could use it.

My feeling is there is something wrong but I wondered if there are different types of bike on the market, e.g beginner, advanced.

Your opinions would be appreciated.

    Most should go from very little resistance up to very difficult to turn

    Saying that, it's supposed to be hard. It always puzzles me how people think it's OK to read a magazine whilst on these things.
    If they can manage to read, they're doing it wrong
