I'm today considering changing from gym to indoor exercise bike.
Any recommendations/links for Very quiet affordable bike machine.
Short of 5 ft -4.9 approx.
Short reach though can manage in gym though some fixed bikes seam excessively stretching to handlebars (i have early m.s.)
Very low sound is required -top of 3 floors-1 bed flat-laminate flooring
Initial scan of Argos/Amazon seem to suggest upto 150-200 pounds.
T.i.a.

    e.g. 
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/PLENY-Folding-Fitness-Exercise-Resistance/dp/B086M8J7Q7

    had another from Argos though no home delivery for a 16-19kg package!

    No thoughts via mse.
    No home delivery via Argos is kind off got me thinking Amazon for similar exercise bike.
    unless 15 kg is 'simple' to lift from store to car.

    133 views, is there any mser's with indoor excessive bike experience.
    I'm not at Peleton or Echelon level `s such until CRA recovers over 1 or 2 years.
    Very interested in recommendations for an affordable indoor Exercise Bike.
    Only want to keep BMI close or below 25 -currently High 26 or low 27s range.
    Could be helpful to drop WFH extra pounds.
    + I get to keep legs physically moving, which can replace Gym after past 2 years.

  • Maybe have a look at EBay as that’s where I got my exercise bike from and at a fraction of the retail cost.

    Not much choice today via eBay.
    Managed to order a basic inexpensive Exercise bike from Argos -delivery tomorrow! Evening delivery got Auto Cancelled.
    Thats two recent Argos orders requiring re order and re pay/refund.

    Thanks doesn't look quite as portable as my Basic bike, though Sunny have excellent reviews.
    I read lots via Amazon yesterday and was in Sunny cost range 130-160 approx.
    I hope tomorrow my Argos attempt is delivered, not sure why courier drove away from my estate when I was next stop, though their tracking had up-to 85 deliveries which I thought was rather a lot.
    I'll revert to Amazon only if Bike doesn't arrive tomorrow.
    I intended to add a short review once it's built etc.
    thanks mser's
