5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was hoping it would be, April 3, 2007
This little exerciser fits right under my desk, and when it's on its mat, it does not move around on the floor (wood) at all. The noise level is pretty quiet--just a low-level ssssss, but I work at home, so I'm not sure how it would play in a cubicle setting. It was easy to assemble.

I, too, found that the tension setting doesn't make much of a difference, although it got a little tighter with more turns that I would have thought necessary. But sitting here pedaling away for a half hour felt like it lasted about a minute as I surfed and worked and allegedly--according to the calorie counter--burned about 250 calories. I did break a sweat in my air-conditioned livingroom. I expect to find myself pedaling off and on all day without even thinking about it, and I don't have to leave my work and carve out a half hour or an hour to get in a bit of daily exercise. That leaves me all the more time for my kids and family time when everyone gets home from school and work... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks great, needs more tension, July 25, 2006
By 
Linda Martin (La Porte, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nice compact unit that fits well under my desk so I can justify the long hours I waste online. It's replaced my footstool and I find myself pedaling subconsciously - probably a good thing. My only wish is that it had more tension, as it seems to go quite freely no matter where I set the tension wheel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bike for the price, May 24, 2007
Like this little bike a lot. It's sturdy and lightweight. Able to fit under a desk. Does not move around when riding on it. The tension knob does not really increase the tension to much but, its enough to impact your workout.

    4.0 out of 5 stars What I expected, only noisier..., February 1, 2006

    I was happy to find that there is no assembly required. It was very easy to set up. It works fine, and is a very sturdy and good-quality piece of equipment. However, it is noisier than I thought it would be. Well, I did choose the cheapest bike trainer I could find, so maybe you get what you pay for.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted.... but loud, December 30, 2005

    This is just what it should be, really, and maybe it deserves 5 stars for that. The instructions were confusing because there's an extra unexplained part, but I figured it out (you don't need the extra axle). I am not a serious biker; this is just to get some exercise w/o buying an expensive piece of equipment.

    What I'd totally forgotten about what the noise a bike trainer makes (and this is the main reason I'm posting, in case you've also forgotten or didn't know). Looking online just now, I've seen it likened to vacuum cleaning, and that's about right. I'm not sure that any other bike trainer would be better on this front... maybe the rim trainers are. (Note: see the other review that explains that if you get other tires for your bike the noise will not be an issue. Me, I am not "serious enough" to buy other tires, much less change them.)

    Bottom line: this is fine. If you can deal with the noise, get it.

    Update (a few years later): I don't use... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic ! - Better than expected, April 22, 2006
    By 
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicycle Trainer (Sports)
    I don't have any other comparison, since this is the first I have ever purchased, but I was pleasantly surprised when I received it just two days after I ordered with FREE shipping.

    The trainer itself is solid and works better than I could have hoped for, cost a lot less than buying an exercise bike.

    I am not a cyclist and bought this to simply turn a regular bike into an exercise bike.

    There was zero assembly required, just unfold it and place your bike in, super easy, when you want to ride the bike out on the street, it's free in less than 30 seconds.

    The only con I would say about this, is that it is loud if you have nobby treaded tires, from the previous review, I can see how a smooth tire would quiet it down, You do or can get use to the noise of it, However, you can also release the tire from the tension roller an ride like a regular bike.

    Highly Recommend, I don't think you'll be sorry on this one.
