I love this bike better than the ones at the spinning class I attended and The best part I can do this at home- anytime. Its whisper quiet and sturdy so you can watch TV or whatever. I was so afraid this would be some cheap clunky thing but no, it met my expectations. My husband had to put it together for me so I took off one star. But honestly, that was probably just my lack of patience and mechanical ability. Although, he did curse some and hated the tool that came with it. Took him about 30minutes from start to finish.
