REHAB FROM MAJOR BACK SURGERY
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
have had bike here for a couple of weeks and am using it daily after rehabbing from hip replacement a year ago I find it helps prevent the stiffness I was feeling when I couldn't get out and walk this winter. The design is not cumbersome so it fits in my bedroom easily, it's quiet and the controls were easy to figure out. It was also easy to put together (I am 77yo male)with minimal assistance.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
This bike was easy to set up and is very quiet. The manual on the control panel is lacking, but eventually you can figure it out. Especially if you just hit Quick Start!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
This bike is awesome! My family and I use it 3 to 4 times a week. Assembly was not difficult, but time consuming. This bike will benefit us in our weight loss, along with our other exercise equipment. This recumbent bike was a great addition. The seat is very comfortable and it is easy to get on with the walk through design. Both my husband and I have knee problems, so this was important to us. We had an old upright stationary bike and we like the recumbent bike better. I only wish it had a book holder.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Very quiet bike--virtually no sound at all. Comfortable, love the ledge on the control panel to put my ipod on while I ride. Great value. The only complaint is there is no back light on the control panel so it can be hard to read the numbers while riding if in a darker room. Fun and a great workout so far.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I like the recumbent bike...it is a low impact form of exercise and the controls allow me to choose my workout.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
This bike does everything that I need it to. Very comfortable, and its resistance comes in a wide array of difficulties. I mostly use the bike to maintain health and body weight because I work in an office for long hours making it hard to exercise. After a couple of weeks using the bike, I feel a lot better. The bike is super quiet.
The only con I can really think of is that the screen is basic. That isn't a big deal though because it works just fine.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
it was easy to set up by myself. both my wife and i use it and she is 7 months pregnant. we both agree that it is very comfortable and so quiet that it was surprising. so far we have had no problems and have been very impressed. it provides for a really smooth exercise.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I use it to get some daily exercise because of a bad back that doesn't allow me too much walking. I love it - it was easy to assemble - my husband did it alone in less than 2 hours, it is quiet, sturdy, but not too heavy. I would recommend it highly!

My Wife and I was looking for a Quality Exercise Bike and We found it. We Have busy schedules and can't find time to ride our regular bikes. Its Usually to dark or late in the day when we get home. This Schwinn 220 Recumbent Exercise Bike is ready when we are, any time of day, AWSOME piece of equipment. Now we ride when we want and don't have to go anywhere to get that workout. Plus when we ride out regular bicycles were already in good shape to ride. Awsome.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I use the bike to help my legs function better because I have parkinson's which means I freeze a lot when I am walking. My 30 minute bike ride helps me every morning to limber my legs so that I freeze less and am able to walk better through out the day. thank you for your fine product.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The seat is easy to adjust for different heights. There are three of us using the bike and each of us need a different seat setting.
The monitor plugs into a wall outlet so there is no need to worry about batteries.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Both wife & I use bike. Different length adjustments. Suggest automobile type seat adjustment rather than constantly unscrewing and screwing adjustment. Also suggest instructions as where to locate serial number well before assembly is complete as difficult to obtain afterwards. Additionally suggest internet warranty registration as the postcard gives way for others to view your personal data.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I have bone on bone problems with my knees. The recumbent bike has proven to be the answer for me. I'm 65 and have been playing sports my whole life, with the resulting knee injuries. The bike has been great, low stress and very quite!!! So far I would give it a 10 and the price was great. Tim
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
You could pay more for a home exercise bike,
however this bike has all you need, and at a great price. I could not be any happier with the purchase.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

I think it is a good bike but it hurts my knees a little . However, I have to admit that my knees aren't great.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I use this bike to do interval training. It is almost silent which surprised me. Easy to put together. All of the reviews that talked about confusing instructions surprise me. I had no issues whatsoever. Tried it this morning and it works great. the user instructions for setting up a custom user could be better, but I figured it out.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
This is an awesome bike! Very quiet and comfortable. I ride it when I am watching a movie and can easily sit through a movie without a sore bottom. I bought the bike because I am allergic to the sun and can't affor the gym. It was a great investment. I even got my boyfriend riding it and he never exercises! No regrets on this one!!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Other than setting up the custom controls, this bike is great for the money!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Definitely NOT a one-man assembly job!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
We purchased this bike after much research and study. The reviews seemed very good for a bike in our desired use area. My wife had knee replacement and we wanted it for general exercise. This bike is a dream come true. From setup, which took a little more than 1 hour and was one of the easiest assemblies I have ever done. Daily usage is great and looked forward to. At least two more family members purchased this bike after using ours. I can truly say this is an excellent product and we are very pleased with it. My only con is it is large and you need a fair size space to keep it in.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I'm using the 220 to build and strengthen the muscles in my legs. This was one of the easiest things I've had to put together and that was largley due to the great assembly instructions. The one minor flaw was the cheezy bottle holder. The bottom srew of the cupholder fell into the tube which supports the heart rate monitor, but I still give the 220 an outstanding review. The 220 is simplistic and effective. Buy it, use it, and live healthy.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I use this exercise bike because I have a herniated disc in my neck and can no longer do my aeorbic exercises. After my car accident and rehab I started searching for a way to get a cardio workout while still supporting my back and neck. This bike helps a lot. I am not getting the same level of exercise as I was before the accident, but it's better than reinjuring myself. There is no strain on my neck and the seat is really comfortable.[...] It is a great bike for the price! Super quiet too. I can watch TV without blasting the volume.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Good Buy [...]
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I purchased this bike after reading several good reviews. I am very well pleased with my purchase except for the way the seat is adjusted for another person using it. My husband is six inches taller than me and needs to move the seat each time he uses it. You have to twist the knob and take it out to move it forward or backwards. I wish it had an easier lever that you could just press down and move it. However this bike is very comfortable to use. I have fibromyalgia and lots of feet problems and this is the best exercise that I am able to do without hurting much. Before ordering the bike I had lost 20 pounds but was at a stand still and couldn't lose any more. I started the new 17 day diet which requires exercise of some sort twice a day for 17 minutes each. I started out on level 2 for the fist 17 days for 20 minutes each and I am in my second 17 days and increased to level 3. I plan to increase the level every 17 days and then I am going to increase to 30 mminutes and so on. I am also taking Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser Maximum Strength Calorie Contol capsules twice a day and I have lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks, (20 days) Other than the lever that adjust the seats I am very well pleased, and I guess I can live with the seat problem. It would be very nice if Schwinn would fix this problem and fix my bike for me at no cost to me. Wasn't hard to set up either. My 25 year old son set it up for me and it took him about an hour.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The 220 was purchased for use primarily by a senior adult whose mobility is somewhat limited. The seat is very comfortable, yet slightly wobbly, but that does not impede its use. The only limitation is a personal one, in that the user is having difficulty raising his foot easily to access the second pedal. I wish to note that for all others, hale and hardy, interested in a recumbent bicycle at a very moderate price, it is ACES!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I work out 6 days a week and include the bike in my routine. I start off warming up on the bike, do my routine, then I close down with the bike. My workout is around 2 hours daily. I like the versatility of the bike. It works for me, however, my husband weight is around 285 lbs., even though the bike says it can hold 300 lbs. I'm a little afraid to let him ride my bike for fear of breaking it.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Had a small issue with the wiring which stopped the resistance at first. Took off control box and checked wiring (wiggled a bit). Currently functioning just fine. I'm 6'3 with size 13 shoe so the foot pegs and straps could be a tad larger, but works well enough. I use 3-4 times a week and am currently satisfied with product.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Product arrived before expected. Directions for assembly easy to follow ~ took about 20 minutes with two people.
Only downside I see is you are only able to track one user in time/distance/calories burned at a time. Would be helpful to be able to add users to this model.
Has several resistance courses or you can enter manual course.
I would recommend this reasonably priced exercise bike to a friend.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
After much comparison shopping and research we decided that the 220 fit the bill perfectly for our intended usage. We were not able to find it locally at a price comparable to to the Superstore's so we ordered. Everything has been more than positive. The delivery was considerably less time than expected, the packaging was the easiest to inventory and the hardware was blister packed with sizes and identifiers..so nice. The setup took two of us an hour or less with no complications, one of the most pleasant assemblies I have ever experienced. I have only positive thoughts.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I had a Schwinn exercise bike before and used it for 18 years. It is so nice to have a bike again. My husband and I just set it up yesterday and I tried it out briefly. This morning I tried to program it but it skipped step #3 and went into step #4. I was not able to save the level I wanted to work on. It said that there were 40 levels to go through, but that was vague in translation to me. I called customer service and they were very nice and explained everything to me. They registered my new purchase so that if I call back again I'm in their system. I'm to try again to reprogram the computer and hopefully step #3 will come up and I can enter that to my workout. If not, I'm to call back again and get the bike working correctly.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I was going to Physical Therapy for Degenerative Disc Disease complicated by arthritis that was pinching the sciatic nerve. The recumbent bike at PT along with the exercises have helped greatly. I bought this bike so I can continue at home as since my PT has ended, even with my daily exercises I was noticing my condition was degrading again. After searching the web for a good quality bike, and reading dozens of customer comments on them, I went to a local store and tried the floor models that they had(Which I would Recommend to everyone). Each machine was different, but I found this Schwinn 220 to be the smoothest and most comfortable (FOR ME) I also observed that of all the floor models it was also in the best condition, other models were already in various stages of disrepair. I wanted the 300 pound rating simply because it means the machine is more heavy duty than lower rated machines. I ordered from this online store because their price was more than $100 less than my local store. [...] I laid all the parts out on the living room floor. The screws and washers are blister packed and labeled so there is no guessing which screw goes where. For the purpose of this review I used the tools that come with the bike instead of going to get my own. I found the included tools quite adequate for the task of assembling the unit, with the exception that I would recommend a flat blade screw driver to properly tighten the screws that mount the computer panel. The Philips head driver that comes with the machine doesn't quite fit the screws properly and you could strip the screw heads tightening them down. Other than that the tools are quite nice, and will come in handy, kept nearby, for any adjustments needed. Assembly I found quite easy. The Manual is more picture based with very few words....so all you have to do is follow the great quality drawings one step at a time. It took me less than 55 minutes to assemble with the included tools. I just finished my first full workout before writing this. The machine is very smooth to operate, a better padded seat would be appreciated, but this one really is pretty good. Granted, I am not an exercise enthusiast so this had me sweating in 10 minutes. And the machine is so quiet, you'll find your breathing to be louder. You can barely hear any sound coming from the machine. I am more of a mechanical person than a tech person...while I find just it a teeny bit tedious to figure out the console, it really does display some nice features that many bikes do not. Someone with more Tech skills than I have should have no problem using the console, I'll have it figured out shortly. Over-all I think this is a wonderfully designed and very high quality Bike for the price tag on it when I compared it to other models. One of the reasons I started looking at this one was the Schwinn Reputation. It turns out that this machine is made by Nautilus, who also makes BowFlex, another fine reputation in Fitness equipment. This machine also comes with a much superior Warranty than all the other brands that were within my budget.
Shipping was prompt. The poor delivery guy dragged the box through the aftermath of a major ice storm up my more than 100 foot driveway to the garage, because his truck couldn't make it up the drive. If I had heard him coming I would have run out to help, but he dragged it all the way up the hill...without a cart, a cart would have made the task worse. Item arrived in excellent condition. When I saw him in the garage and said Holy ____ you dragged that all the way up???? He just shrugged his shoulders and grinned.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I am a diabetic. I can't always get out and walk. I bought this to get my heart rate up and in better shape. I believe I will really enjoy this, so far I do. I wish I had a room dedicated just to exercise because it is large but I like it. I bought it 12/30 and my son just put it together for me last night.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I jump on for 15 minutes in the morning while catching the news then do another 45 minutes when I get home from work--to unwind. I love that it is quiet --can watch my favorite tv shows or even put in a movie. Its not an eysore or a laundry catchall(Like the tred mill was) I like that I can start out easy and put in my own program suited just for me---its the best buy I have ever made!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Haven't ridin 25 miles yet, but bike is very quiet and pedals smoothly. Relatively easy to assemble with minimal tools. Hardware package is well organized and assembly manual is well done. Initial quality appears high. Will wait to see how reliable the bike is in the long run.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
While we've only had this a short time the design, fit, and finish seem to be good. The bike is smooth in operation and quiet to the point where you don't even know that it's on. Our only negative(s) at this point are that the pedals and toe loops are just a little narrow for average sized footwear (mens 10D) to the point where the toeloops catch against the pedal arms when pedaling. This was resolved by removing the toe loops (they're not required). The bike is being used for supplimental cross training for a runner to remain limber in the off hours (running 4-5 times a week). This bike has the potential of being used for many years to come.
Delivery was prompt and product was received undamaged.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this bike as a way to get exercise in the cold. I find I use the bike on a daily basis because it is easy to use and can be used while I am doing other tasks (knitting, reading, watching TV,...)The first day I rode 15 miles without realizing it. I love my Schwinn recumbent bike. It has gotten me up off my tush and exercising again.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The bike took a little longer to set up than what my husband expected; however, no parts were missing and set up was completed within a reasonable time frame. The bike is very quiet. The foot straps are not very flexible, making it hard to adjust for each person. Overall, it meets my expectations. Very happy with purchase.
Excellent Mercantila service and communication and free FedEx delivery.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
This Schwinn 220 recumbent exercycle was eazy to assemble; from removal from the shipping carton I had it ready to ride in a couple hours. Real quiet,smooth operation. Very nice, comfortable, wide seat and back support. The sale price and the rapidity of shipment were both tough to beat. I have been pedaling this exercycle 5x/week for 3 weeks now and have found nothing about which to complain. Considering all the ice, snow, and bitter cold that we've been having, pedaling this Schwinn in the comfort of my home really rocks!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The adaptor to the bike broke already. That means the computer part of the bike does NOT work. I called the company and a replacement part is not available until APRIL (and I called in January)!! I can't use the bike without this. The company knows which bike I have, but is insisting I include the serial number, located on the bottom of the very heavy bike, and at 64 I can't read it. Not very helpful, huh???

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
We love this bike! We are nearing 60 years old and hate to ride these hills on our bicycles ~ this bike is perfect! My husband is 6 foot 3 inches tall and I am 5 foot 7. The knob on the side of the seat releases easily to adjust the seat reach. The bike is so quiet and accomodates us perfectly. We keep it right in the living room and use it everyday. It was so simple to set up and is quite sturdy. We are extremely pleased. Great choice.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Great bike for the price. It was very easy to assemble. The bike is very sturdy and the operation is quiet and very smooth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bike to anyone.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I purchased this bike after comparing it to several others. What a great purchase. I owned an elliptical, but the impact on my knees resulted in an elliptical room ornament. This bike is low impact and due to my current condition (cmt) a form of M.D. that has developed in the past five years has possibly been a miracle for me. Walking has become a challenge,(fighting the braces) but this bike allows me a great workout. Thank you so much Scwinn for a great product.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
It took a few weeks to receive it. It was very difficult to move the big, heavy box. There were no instructions on how to apply for a rebate. I emailed about it and never got an answer.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The product [...] is a joy to use. I find that I exercise more knowing I have an effective, safe, comfortable piece of equipment.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I've had several back surgeries so wanted something low impact. I'ts easy to adjust for use between my wife and I. It would be nice if it had several programable programs instead of just one. When using any of the programs and it is going to a higher resistance there's a 2-4 sec spot where there seems to be no resistance at all then the higher resistance kicks in. Also, the seat is not comfortable, we use a chair cushion on it to provide a little more padding.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
So far it has been a blessing. My only con- is that it has to set smack dab in the middle of living room! Of course, that's not your fault, small house and it's in front of TV to make sure he's entertained while touring the world.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
It flexes a little when peddling hard. Great value overall.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
After initial use of the product it seems very well built, and definately a good value for the cost. I like the fact that it has many levels of resistance. Really the only negative I have experienced is with using the computer control, but I need to spend some more time with the manual.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
From the moment it arrived at my door I had it put together in under 30 minutes, and was riding for the next 30. I use it 15 minutes every morning before work--I can catch the news as I ride,then hop on again when I get home from work--good way to unwind from a long day.I love not having to run to the gym and wait for the machine to be empty this having it at home I have no excuses...it calls my name as I enter the house.I truthfully can not think of one thing that is not great about it.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
1 year ago I had a mass removed from my spine. I have only been able to walk or stand for 5 to 10 minutes at a time since then and am 100% disabled after having worked as a nurse for almost 30 years. A friend told me he bought this bike and because of the recombent position he thought I could use this to exercise. [...] I have always been a failure at exercise, but this purchase is the best thing I have EVER done for myself because I still can't walk or stand for very long but I can do 20 to 30 minutes on this bike at least once and sometimes twice a day..I can stand up straighter and feel so good actuallygetting a cardio work out....I LOVE THIS BIKE !!!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this for Physical Therapy after knee surgery, but my wife has used it more. We love how quiet it is during operation. Even my kids try it out while watching TV. My only complaint and it is small is that I don't like the sit adjustment.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I purchased this bike because of the reviews and it has lived up to my expectations. I normally walk 5-6 miles a day, but it is very cold and dark by the time I get home from work. Now I can ride my bike for an hour and watch tv or read. I do not get the same workout as if I was outside walking, but it is a good way to stay in shape. I also use hand weights while I am on the bike. It is very smooth and I can easily read, which is difficult for me on a treadmill.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
good for low impact -- not stressful on knees
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike is a good investment. It was easy to assemble and is easy to use. The only slight concern is that when my husband uses it the bike seems rather fragile. My husband weighs 200 pounds. I have used the adjusters to balance the unit but it creeks and kind of bucks when he uses it. He lowered the resistance level so it works better. The bike works great for myself and my weight is 130 pounds.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
After knee replacement my physical therapist recommended a recumbent bike. As usual, I did a lot of online research and was very comfortable with what I read about the Schwinn and also the price. I printed out the specs and took them to my PT person and he agreed. It is very quiet and stable so that I can read or watch TV, which makes the time go by faster.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The directions for setting up could have been clearer. Part of the problem was one set of directions for two different models. Pictures were not what they could/should have been. After delays because of this I finally got it figured out. Now everything is fine. One very nice bike!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I am 73 years old with arthritis in my right knee. Using the bike for 30-minutes five days a week (at the default resistance level) eliminates pain for most of the day, and allows me to continue an active life style.
Delivery was free, on-time, and the product was not damaged! What more could you ask for?

I ordered this bike at 2:00 pm. December 29. The service rep told me that it would take 6 days for delivery. I was totally happy when it was at our back door the next morning at 11:00am! That's customer service!!!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I use my bike everyday. I had knee surgery 8 months ago and this bike really helps keeping my knee flexable. It is easy to get on(no lifting legs over a bar) and very comfortable.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Because we were into the holiday season, received bike early December, we didn't take the time to open it and put it together until New Year's Day. My husband and son put it together easily in about a half hour. The directions have pictures that are easy to follow. I like the bike very much. It is very quite so I can use it while watching TV. I have plantar fasciitis and need a way to exercise without having to be on my feet. Still have to figure out the programming using the directions. In mean time, it is easy to use already programmed settings.
I ordered my bike on "black friday". It took almost two weeks to receive it. But, it was within the promised time and in good condition. Heavy box, needed help getting it into the house.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Setting up custom settings was difficult due to poor instructions. The user manual could be better. I'm a 57 year old housewife and had no problem assembling the unit. The assembly instructions were excellant and they included all tools necessary. For the price it is a GREAT bike and I would purchase it again!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike is a very quiet, comfortable bike. I can sit and burn calories in front of the tv and not hear the bike at all. It only took me 1 hour to assemble. Very easy to move too.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Display is not working and the instructions do not include a troubleshooting guide.
Great Service!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I got it for health reasons but I find that my granddaughter(a size 3) and my husband use it as often as I do and that is twice a day. Before I got this I never worked out but I had to start exercising and this is the way. I like the different programs that go from simulating a level ride to up and down hills. My only complaint is the cupholder is too slanted to hold my ice tea glass.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Ride the bike every morning for 30 minutes while watching the am news. It's quiet operation allows me to watch TV while riding without waking the rest of the household.
My delivery was a nightmare. The bike had arrived to the adjoining town after a month of waiting only to be called back by the shipper the day of delivery. Had to make many follow-up calls to locate the bike and have it re-delivered. The whole process was over 2 months from the order date to the actual delivery.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this bike specifically for knee rehab. I have a badly damaged knee that won't allow me to walk any distance any more or even use an elliptical trainer. I am using the bike to buy time for the knee until I have it replaced. I'm still trying to make friends with the seat as it is somewhat uncomfortable. My butt goes numb after about 20 minutes on the bike. Otherwise, it is exactly what I wanted. Stability is good. Ease of setup is good. Programming is a little bit clunky and somewhat less than intuitive. It is whisper quiet, so I just put on my favorite program and pedal away. With the bike, I've lost 15 lbs in the last month, lowered my blood pressure, and am doing well at strengthening the bum knee.
Overall, it's a good quality machine that is exactly as advertised. I would buy it again.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I have to say, I was a little intimidated thinking how am I going to put this together but it was very easy. The important part is that it is well put together and doesnt take up so much room as I thought. I just think there should be better user friendly directions to set up the programs or understand the functions. Otherwise I am enjoying using a bike indoors when I can't go out for a ride on the trail.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Nice bike for the money. Assembly took maybe an hour, and was straightforward. Very quiet operation, and I like the multiple user profile you can program into it.

So far I am liking it. My only complaint is that the display doesn't light up.
Thought the wait time of three weeks from the time I ordered it was a little long, but it did arrive in good condition.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot which makes it very painful to walk. This machine helps me exercise without pain. It is comfortable to sit on and operate. The digital display is easy to understand and easy to read. There is a Quick Start button on the control console that I use to begin my exercising, but I'd like to set up a custom exercise regimine, but the instruction book does not go into enough detail so I don't know how to set it up. I'm goint to contact Schwinn to see if they will supply more detailed instructions.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
A pleasant surprise! Bought for my husband, but made him beg for it! I did not think he would use it...so far, so good. He is 76 yrs with lots of on going medical issues, and was obese. Went on diet plan 7 mo ago, and has been faithful and losing weight!!!!! But the bike has helped him regain alot of mobility, and soon he may be able to take walks again.

Gift for my 85 yr old dad who had been a bit house bound since a slight injury had him skipping his bowling. Decided on a bike so he could ride while watching tv. He rides every day, working up to 3 miles with no problems! His color has returned, his wound healed and his mood has improved. No more sitting on the couch sighing! Perfect product for him...
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this bike to use for days when I am unable to make it to the gym-so I will have the opportunity to do something physical from the comfort of my own home.[...] When I opened the box, I was unprepared for the project that I had ahead of me. But I was determined to get it done as quickly as because I wanted to clear the boxes and pieces out of my quaint NYC apartment and resume normal living conditions ASAP! lol With that said-I am also not one who likes to deal with putting things together etc. The cost of the bike was attractive enough for me to give my assembly skills a try though. Let me point out that assembly was not too difficult. I was able to assemble the bike mostly by myself. I assembled 2/3 of the bike before my sister was kind enough to lend a hand. Word of Advice to anyone looking to purchase this item: if you can find some one willing to help you, it will make your life so much easier, and help assembly time go much faster. The only reason why I stress this is, some of the pieces are heavier than others and it just makes everything easier when you are trying to stabilize and screw pieces in. So far so good with the bike. All in all, I am satisfied with this purchase. I assembled the bike successfully and it is working, so I feel like I accomplished something. Ive had it a couple of weeks now...I am just curious to see how long it will last with continued daily use.

After knee replacement, I used a bike at PT. It made my knees feel so much better that I wanted one for the house. I'm 72 so did not want to spend a lot. I use the bike twice a day for 15 minutes at level 3. Could not fully set up the computer so do not know how far or fast I'm going.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I love this bike! The ONLY drawback is that the seat is not so comfortable after 30 or more minutes, but from what I have read, that is to be expected of all bikes after long rides. I now ride for 20 mins, take a break, then I go back for more. I'm so happy that I got this bike. Great workout!
This product arrived after it was scheduled to ship out. I received a prompt response after emailing customer service. They said my product had been held up in customs.

Because of back problems - 4 different surgeries I have difficulty with an upright bike. The Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike is just the ticket for getting some workout.

I use the bike for excercise when I can't get to the gym, or on alternate days. I have to excercise reqularly for heart bypass rehab. I am very impressed with the quality, especially for the price.
I have no complaints about the service or delivery. Customer service was very helpful when I placed my order. Would recommend to others.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I ride the bike for at least one hour every day. It is very smooth riding but difficult to program. Also, the front handle bars are to far from the seat to rest your hand/arms on.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
It's quiet so it can be used anywhere, it's small enough to fit in a tight space, and easy to move around yet stable.

[...] I set it up by myself in a little over an hour. Assembly directions were clear and precise. Thank you for helping me get my exercise regimen back in place.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
This was a gift for our son who spends most of his time indoors during the rough winters. He had used this bike at the gym and loved it, so we ordered one for his home. He assembled it in 3 main pieces to fit into his car and finished assembly at home with a minimum of effort. He said, "Wait until you see me in a month or so", so we are anxious to hear all about his time on this bike. Thanks for the good deal [...]
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
It took several hours to assemble, but I took it slo,wly and carefully and was very happy with the hardware labeling.

Great
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Starting on my physical health and this bike will definately help. It's super quiet. My husband can ride it in the living room while we watch TV and no noise what so ever.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Assembly instructions and hardware layout are the best I've seen in a product. Everything, including needed tools, is included on a card that uses both adhesive and durable shrink wrap. You would have to try hard to lose parts! I am a not-mechanically-inclined woman, and I was able to assemble it myself (though two people are recommended).
However, instructions for computer setup are next to useless - I still haven't figured out how to set it up for user(s) or to access/set up programs (the reason for four instead of five stars). Not sure yet if heart rate monitor is reliable (or if my heart's rate is unreliable!), but it is a helpful gauge nevertheless. There's a lot of information displayed during a workout.
Operation is very quiet, so either my husband or I can ride it while both watch TV on normal volume.
We use the bike to substitute for our gym workout when the weather is bad for driving to the facility, as well as to fill in the days we don't plan on going over to use other machines. My husband has arthritis in the knee of his leg affected by a stroke a couple of years ago and finds the bike to be perfect for him. I myself find that it enables me to get a good aerobic workout. Both of us are really pleased with this purchase.
Though the shipping date was delayed, the eventual delivery was ahead of the second date I was given. It arrived in good condition.

I will use it for stamina and strengthening. It is quiet and you can watch television or read. The readouts are a little hard to read.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Assembly is simple and takes about 45 min. Extremely quite, well made, durable at a midrange price.
Only 1 user setup is available. Second user has to login as a guest. Manual is poor and hard to follow.
The AC power cord is extremely short with a wimpy connector located in the front of unit.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I was worried that this bike would not be enough of a work out for me because everyone seemed to be using it for physical therapy. Wrong! It is a great work out but I wish you could pedal backwards.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
It gets cold and miserable here in the winter and staying fit it hard. It just got easier for my wife and I with this bike from Schwinn. It's super quiet and comfortable so watching TV is a breeze while pedaling away at an easy or hard pace!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Great bike, extremely quiet.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I had problems getting shipment, the factory was back ordered, which was a problem due to pending foot surgery. The bike arrived after the surgery,[...] I was actually able to assemble it very slowly but was able to put it together, I had read reviews of other bikes, and a lot of comments about the difficulty putting the pedals on, which these were already inserted, only needing to put the foot pieces on. I have used the bike as much as possible, even works easily with the bum foot. The pulse monitor does not seem to be working very well, and I have only used the quick Start feature, have not had tIme to figure out the other programs, Bike is very quiet and I have been very pleased with it.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
smooth pedaling, a little difficult to change seat position from one user to another, but very stable, smooth ride, good workout, nice transition between paces/steps. Very happy with my purchase.

Daughter loves the bike. Along with her treadmill, this gives her a well rounded workout!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this for my husband as a gift. I chose this specific bike after hours of research - all brands. I used to ride a Schwinn 5-speed approx 5 miles daily while in high school and college as a way to keep fit, which has been 30 years ago. I still have that bike. When my husband needed a recumbent bike for his arthritic knees, I turned to Schwinn, first, but I did research others. We have tried other bikes in rehab, but nothing compares to the comfort of this unit. The ease of assembly, the ease of use, and the overall appearance is a definite plus. However, getting this at a really good price [...] it was a win-win. My main deciding factor, however, was the durablility of the bike I rode daily for 10 years. It is an excellent product.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
the price is great [...]Since we got it,me,my husband and kids have been using it and been burning calories already! we love the machine and would definitely recommend it!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The bike is still new, so I don't have any results to share. I hope the bike is helpful with fitness and weight loss. So, far, I haven't worked up a sweat in using the bike.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I got what I expected, The only thing I would add to the bike is height adjustment, everything else is fine
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I use the bike every morning...gets me going and I'm more productive all day long.
Delivery sucked! It took the company 4 days just to get FedEx the shipping info. Then FedEx had the bike sit in CA for an entire week before the trip to NY began. Took way too long to arrive!

It's a great way to cross train,so far I like it alot and am very happy with my choice .I tried out about 5 different bikes in the store before choosing this one.It is sturdy,I had it assembled in about 1 1/4 hour.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
Although I've only been using this bike for a week or so, I'm really enjoying it. It is the most quiet bike I've ever owned! As far as a challenging workout, I can challenge myself as much as I could on any bike in any gym I've been a member. I'm very happy!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
I bought it mainly for my daughter who plays basketball. It gives her a good workout outside of practice. Very easy to put together, stable and quite. The key pad can be challenging but you will figure it out.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike:
The setup was not as bad as expected with help from another person. I would advise buying a 6mm allen socket and an adapter for your drill, for a 3/8 drive. Makes things go so much faster. We expect to get in shape over the winter with this bike and also help me after my knee replacement
Delivery was right on time, just like I was promised. Emails from customer service kept me up to date on the progress of my order. No disappointments.
