Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
Riding the bike in the evening after work helps relieve stress and helps me relax. It may sound odd to exercise to slow down but that is what the bike does for me. It is well built, sturdy and easy to use. It is difficult to come up with excuses not to exercise and ride the bike, I actually look forward to riding it after a long day.

Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
I have had the 250 for approx. 2 weeks and it works great. It is the perfect fit for me to get that low impact I need daily. I have already recommended it to many people. My wife and I both use it and it's so nice having our own information in it. We just turn it on and go. Thanks Schwinn.

Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
I have osteoaritis in my hip due to an accident in my 30's. My orthopod advised that hip replacement was on the horizon but I could stave it off by low impact cycling. This has been a fabulous unit and I'm able to walk without as much pain. I'm not needing my cain.

Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
Have had this product 2 weeks and am having a hard time NOT using it daily. It's smooth ride beckons me. I have owned many exercise machines but this is the first one that was comfortable to sit on the entire workout. I am having an infrequent buzz from the wheel houseing after some workouts that require i unplug the beast but hope to get this taken care of shortly with schwinn. Really a great product for the cost.

Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
We bought the bike so we can excercise at home without the hassle of a gym. We love the feature that we can track our individual workouts as well as the heart monitor. It is very comparable to the equipment at our old gym.
Also, minor touches like the bottle holder, mp3 player plug-in, under seat basket, and the built-in fan are very welcome.

Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
I can workout while my husband watching TV without him having to turn up the volume.
I like to read my e-reader while workouting but it does not fit on the book rack so I have to set up it on the utility tray so I can not see any of my workout information.
Pros

Comments about Schwinn 250 Recumbent Bike:
Have used the Schwinn 213 for many years - great reliability! Love the improved console for holding drink/ipad/or small laptop and the speakers for Mp3 player. My old model did not have the walk-thru access which is a great feature. The seat is more comfortable than before. Use mainly for aerobic exercise - like the programs and setting. The resistance while pedaling gives you a good workout.
