Schwinn Active 20 Serie Exercise Bike Review

The bike arrived in great condition. I have never had a problem with Amazon’s shipping so this was not surprising.

The bike was very easy to assemble, as other reviewers have said. It took about an hour, with the help of my ten year old, hyperactive son. Instructions were easy to follow and all of the tools and hardware you need are provided, which is a very nice touch. The bike is sturdy and well built.

The bike’s computer console is easy to read, and once you get a quick read through of the operating instructions, it is very easy to use.

I like the variety of workouts you can get with this machine. You can use one of the presets (six of these), program one yourself, or go by heart rate. Or just hop on and ride. I also like the sensors in the handle bar grips.

Very nicely done, Schwinn!!

**It is now July 2009 and my bike is still going strong. There are four pretty rambunctious kids and a husband that all like to hop on and give it a whirl. The handle bar sensors are still accurate, which I tested several times by just taking my pulse rate the old fashioned way(finger on the pulse for 10 seconds). The seat moves smoothly from one position to another with no problems, and since the kids think that is “wicked” it gets moved up and down many times.

The only recommendation I would make is that the display screen should be back lit. The screen is easy to read , as I said in my earlier review, in regards to the size of the graphics. However I have found that it is harder to read without a light shining on it from behind me. Maybe they could put a button on the side that you can hit when you need the back light, like they put on some watches, and then it turns back off after a few seconds.

I am still loving it. (By the way, I have lost an inch off my waist since I started riding and it is pretty much the only thing I have been doing for extra exercise.)
