      Comments about Schwinn 240 Recumbent Exercise Bike:

      Recently had knee replacement and biking was recommended as best exercise to help stiffness from scar tissue. Wanted a machine I could use while watching TV or reading. This bike fit all my priorities. Use it for weight loss and general fitness also. Like how you can program different levels of training.

        I got this bike because I needed to start an exercise program. This bike is so easy to use! It is gentle on my joints (I have Osteo Arthritis in my knees. It is very quiet which I love as I can watch TV while I work out. I like the different fitness levels as well. I can start out at level one and increase as my fitness improves. I would highly recomend this product.

        You can easily move it around. Doesn't take up much space. My old exercise bike gave me back aches. The recumbent makes me want to work out and stay in shape as I have difficulty walking for my exercise.

        It took 2 1/2 hours to put together. We have 6 weight bars that we don't have a clue what they go to. They aren't in the book nor on the parts list. [...]Overall should be a good bike.
