   I wish the directions for use had more information, honestly it's fairly detailed but this is my first indoor cycling bike and I wish I had more diagrams of the workings of the peddle and other parts, but I got it together on my own and was packages super well with Styrofoam and each component separately wrapped. Horrible for the environment but it made it here in perfect condition. 4 stars because the bikes electronic rpm, hear rate, and other information reader has to be plugged in constantly to work. It dosent seem to hold a charge. Which is a bummer since I should be able to pull it away from the wall when using it. To be fair it's a long charge cord, but I have small kids and want to work out without having to worry about then tripping on my bike cord. Im very happy with how quiet it is, and the levels 0-100, and the ability to lock the wheel and peddles when not in use, for safety. Fairly comfortable ride, decent amount of adjustments. Im 5' 4" and feel like I can get a posture that's okay but I've always felt like handlebars have never been able to slide back as far as I would like for my short arms and carple tunnel. At any rate glad I purchased something higher end that I knew wouldn't come damaged or at least that the company should be easy to work with if I have an issue in the future. Also, the cleets that came with my shoe should have worked, and kinda did after adjusting the spring in the peddle. I then tried the cleets that came with the bike, and even though they are almost identical, I didn't not have to loosen the spring as much and they clipped in and out so much easier. Before I felt like I was going to damage the cleet and peddle.

   This bike is an excellent buy. Very sturdy. We thought about one with a big screen but decided we like the flexibility of putting a tablet on it or a TV in front of it. No reason to pay for a large, attached screen.
   
   The only complaint I have is that the belt guard is somehow not aligned. So some part of the belt rubs on it and make a very irritating sound. I tried adjusting it but the plastic guard is thin and the screws just strip it. I do not want to go through the whole return process since the bike is setup and I like it. I am going to take the belt guard off myself and see where the noise is coming from, then drill new holes to attached the guard back on.

   This is the first and only exercise bike I've ever owned, so I have nothing to compare with. But my doctor has told me that my running days are over and I needed to find a way to keep exercising.
   
   First thing I'll say about this bike is that it is incredibly sturdy. If you're heavier person, have no fear that it's going to wobble or not support your weight.
   
   Despite the fact that the instructions indicate it's a two person job to assemble, I'm a 57-year-old woman living alone and I was able to do the whole thing by myself.
   
   The resistance knob is easy to reach while exercising and provides a more than adequate range of resistance. It also functions as an emergency stop/wheel lock.
   
   The bike has a relatively small footprint and does not take up a ton of room. It's easy to move with the wheels, either from the back or from the front. It is absolutely silent so you don't need to jack up the TV volume while you're riding. I also appreciate the built-in USB charger, and the fact that it comes with a heart rate monitor, dumbbells, and a 2 month membership to the JRNY app which is actually a lot of fun and has an impressive variety of visually spectacular workouts.
   
   All that being said, there is still a little room for improvement.
   
   The assembly instructions could have been clearer, but it was easy enough to find a YouTube assembly video to help with that. The seat that came with the bike was never going to work for me as I'm a heavier person and need more padding, so I replaced that immediately.
   
   Even with the seat and the handlebars adjusted as close to each other as they will go, it's still a little uncomfortable for me to lean forward far enough to grip the handlebars. (I'm 5'5")
   
   The display is pretty basic and I wish they would have gone with a digital display for RPMs instead of the weird graph across the top that makes you guess at your actual number.
   
   Also, the handlebars are very hard and even with padded gloves the palms of my hands were very sore after even a short workout . I solved this problem with some foam pipe insulation and athletic tape. After those adjustments, it's just about perfect
