I've been thinking about purchasing the Cyclo Trainer for years, but only recently purchased when my treadmill quit working. I wish I would have purchased the Cycle Trainer and ditched the treadmill years ago!
This really gives me a good cardio workout. I am 6'5" and took the advise of another tall man who add a spacer of wood at the bottom of the glide board to give proper distance between the hips and pedals. My computer works fine with the data. but I have never heard a beep to know when I have achieved my workout goals
This is perfect for my needs since my knee was starting to bother me even on low speed on the treadmill with heavily padded running shoes. Don’t worry 10 minutes on this at a brisk pace and mid resistance settings will really get your heart rate up and you’ll feel the burn in your quads. Better than a bicycle too since the seat can really do a number on your groin/private areas. I recommend this version instead of the cheaper version since the digital readout is useful in measuring intensity and calories burned. Could use a little more functionality/update on the onboard display including a light.
The CycloTrainer has allowed me to get my cardio in... even if I don’t feel like cycling. I just lay down and start peddling. Easy on my joints. Glad I purchased it!
