I’m enjoying the bike so far ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. ru-vid.comUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
How much of a turn on the resistance knob would be considered a moderate amount for a flat ?I have never ridden outdoors so have no idea what a flat ride on a bicycle would feel like resistance wise.Thank you.
Hi I'm a new beginner to spin bikes and have used watt bikes in the past. I like to have intervals during my sessions. So how can you have intervals on a spinning bike and how does a spinning bike differ from a watt bike. How is a spinning bike better than a watt bike. Thanks.
Hi! We suggest you always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. Once you begin riding, ride as long as you're comfortable and feeling good. Start with 30 minute rides and work up to longer rides and take into account any injuries or preexisting conditions, taking it easy as necessary. You can train daily as long as you feel able to and are incorporating recovery rides. Make sure you're getting plenty of sleep, drinking water and getting optimal nutrition. And make sure to stretch! Enjoy your ride and welcome to the Spinning® community!
Have you properly adjusted your bike to your body? I noticed a much better experience riding after getting it properly adjusted and my knees thanked me for it 😅
Is there a spin bike where you don't have to lean forward like bikers do? Can I adjust handles so I can seat in a more upright position when biking? I have 2 buldging disk in my back so I would like to be able to adjust seat and hundles where I can keep back straight and with good posture while spinning. Looks uncomfortable to use bike leaning forward with head almost touching handles like I have seen people do and also arching back while placing hands on handles?? also does bottom gets very sore and painfully after spinning workout, specially doing it every day or every other day for 30-40 min?? I been trying to decide between this and echo rogue airdyne bike to use at home for hitt and maybe long biking workouts... Bike looks pretty cool and I know it will give me a good workout, however I don't know if Iam gonna a like just seating there pedaling for 30- 40 min.. I lift 3x a week and every other day 2x a week I do 30 min hitt workouts.. Battle rope, kettle bell, punching bag, ply box, airdyne etc, etc... I always do 40sec on 20 off with a variety of exercises for 30-35 min.. Don't know if the spinn bike will fit in my workouts or if I really need it? Maybe if I don't feel like doing hitt I can jump on the spin bike and do a peloton workout or something like that. Do you think spin bike is for people that don't like doing hit workouts or people that don't have any other equipment or maybe they just like biking?? Sorry for all the questions..just trying to decide between spinn bike and airdyne bike.. Thank u
Hi Marco. Our Spinner® Bikes are not meant to be in the upright position. When you first begin to ride a bike, regardless if it is an indoor or an outdoor bike, there is an adjustment period on the saddle. Indoor Cycling is a great workout and can be done at home, but please consult your doctor or medical professional before starting this or any other workout.

It's pretty good, I lost a good amount of weight a few years ago by doing hours of spinning every week. Plus, my legs and ass got toned, which was a nice side effect
Hi Siddharth. Most people adjust and become more comfortable with the seat as they keep riding, but you can always get one of our seat covers to go on your seat. spinning.com/home-spinner-gel-seat-cover/ spinning.com/commercial-bikes-gel-seat-cover/

Well this was exhausting to watch, I think I just learned I need to buy a new actual bicycle and stay out of the gym. Edit: Just to be clear, I mean the amount of over-thinking involved in this vs. just riding a bike is exhausting.
The instructor tells you every step of the way what to do. Really you don’t have to do much thinking. Come back to this video after taking a class or two or more.
