Manufacturer's Warranty
Thirty-year warranty on frame, three-year warranty on parts and electronics, one-year warranty on labor and wear items About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 still the standard November 6, 2006
23 out of 24 found this review helpful
I bought one of these in 1988. It was already -quite- old, (probably from 1977, the first year it was made, which means the 30 year warrantee is -still- in effect!), and not well taken care of. Whatever abuse it took only made it a little dirty. It's almost 2007, and it's still working perfectly. The all-steel construction has kept it repair-free while newer machines go into the garbage. Different year models come with different monitors, so I won't go into that, but the machine itself is always the same: No shifting. The fan-resistance increases with pedaling speed. Arms and legs contribute whatever proportions of the total effort you desire, a very natural intuitive movement. For arms only, there's a foot-rest, for legs only, just hang your arms at your sides. (The Airdyne is not a bicycle, not a 'spinner', it is a thing unto itself, but unless road-bike technique is an issue, it will do more than spinning can do for your fitness.)The warrantee, or any other right to complaint, is probably voided if you stand up while pedaling, but I've been able to stand on these pedals for all these years, and the combination of arms and legs while out of the seat is the most intense workout available on a home cycle. (I did eventually get a Schwinn 'Windsprint', because it shifts to increase pedal pressure, but it doesn't 'do' arms. This is still the single best home cycle.)
Some Assembly Required December 1, 2006
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
Seems to be a very good exercise product. But the product description should mention that assembly takes about 2 hours. Stabilizers, arms, computer, pedals, and seat need to be attached to the frame. This should be easy but the assembly instructions are minimalistic at best. The method for attaching the arms to the frame requires quite a bit of strength.

The Schwinn Airdyne is built to last out of steel. For upper and lower body workout, it uses a fan/flywheel to create resistance rather than a friction belt or magnetic motor; hint--fewer repairs and failures since there is no friction mechanism to fail.
The onboard computer allows your to select what information you wish to see such as mets, calories, distance, speed, rpm and even displays your pulse if you wear a chest strap. You can select miles or kilometers for distance and "club or home" for setup; hint--built to withstand use in a fitness center/health club. It even allows you to imput your geological elevation to facilitate a more accurate calorie count.
Assembly is straight foward but does require a few basic tools such an adjustable wrench and phillips screwdriver.
This represents a good way to go if you want a well built durable piece of equipment intended for serious use to achieve your goal of cardio-vascular conditioning, weight loss or just plain old exercise.
Great Equipment September 14, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this Schwinn about two months ago to add some upper body exercises along with walking 5 to 7 miles every other day. It really is a good workout that you can control. My wife watches movies on her laptop while using the Airdyne. It is pretty easy to assemble if you remember to lay the bars (that make the push pull handles go back and forth) on the floor first. I had to take it apart because I thought they would fit as I was following the directions very closely but nope you gotta lay them on the floor first as they will only fit in the slots from the bottom. We both love this piece of equipment especially if the inclement weather keeps you from regular outside exercise. The price is excellent from Amazon. These bikes have been around for years, so they must be doing something right.
We really like our Airdyne May 12, 2007

I had my knee replaced in January and had just completed several weeks of Physical Therapy. Part of my PT was riding an Airdyne bike for several minutes. As a bonus from my PT and surgery, I lost 15 pounds. My husband, who is a runner, was looking for something to do for cross training. He often picked me up from PT and started talking with one of the therapists who is also a runner. My husband started looking at the airdyne and he tried it out at PT. He was hooked. So we bought one and have it set up in the den so we can watch TV while riding. Plus the big fan keeps you cool. The one we got is slightly different from the one I used in PT, but the only real difference is the computer attachment to tell you how many miles you are riding and for how long.
