Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike - My Review
I have had this bike for a little more than a month now and I am very pleased with my Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike! You see, I live a desk bound lifestyle - play PS3 and Xbox 360 for about 3 hours a day, watch TV 'round the clock, sit around all day. The couch is way more appealing than riding out with a standard bike.

The Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike gave me the fix that I need.

We checked out different and more expensive exercise and recumbent bikes from Schwinn. Comparing the features, we liked this model better...not to mention its 200 dollars cheaper than its predecessors. Having tested different recumbent bikes, the Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike is much more comfortable and can be adjusted very easily. This nicety is very useful especially when you consider 2 users with different heights using the machine.

Along with that, the Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike comes with a sturdy and solid feel. I'm not the one to jump into conclusions and say that this will last for a decade, BUT with care and good maintenance, I think the Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike will last a VERY long time!

(Hopefully, long enough until I'm fit and in great shape )

Negatives: Well, there are no serious setbacks from this bike BUT when it comes to resistance, each step up is a huge jump. I think it would be better if I'm able to ramp things up a little more gradually.

Aside from that though, everything has been pleasant about the Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike. An excellent bike that comes at an excellent price - there's nothing more you can ask for.

The conclusion: Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike is highly recommended!
