 Exactly what I was hoping it would beApr 03, 2007
By Daisymayfattypants
"DMFP"
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.
The pedals can be a tad slippery, but I pedal barefooted and maintain traction that way. Your desk, of course, needs to have clearance for your knees, although it is possible to turn a little sideways and pedal just off to the side of your desk while still being online or doing other work. Also, you can pedal with your hands to get a bit of an aerobic and upper-body workout in. That precludes surfing or typing, so get something good to read in front of you!
Overall, exactly what I wanted and what I hoped it would be, tension notwithstanding.

 Looks great, needs more tensionJul 25, 2006
By Linda Martin
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.

Great bike for the priceMay 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.

Great Way to Get in Computer Time & Combat DiabetesMar 11, 2010
By Andrew C. Walker

I've seen a lot of people mention problems with the tension on this and there is an easy fix for that. When you first get the unit the band that controls the tensions tends to stretch out a bit, after the initial stretch if you make this adjustment you shouldn't have to do it again for a very long time. There are 2 screws on the sides below each pedal, remove these and the plastic piece slides out from below the pedal. There is one screw in the center of the tension control nob, remove that then pull the nob off (it may be a little tight as mine was). Remove the calorie meter and there should be a button release to detatch the cable. Now the whole cowling of the unit should slide right off. Turn the tension knob as far out as it will go (counterclockwise). You will find a strap and latch, very similar to ones you might find on a backpack. Release the latch, and pull the strap till it is tight, then close the latch. Now reverse the process to re-assemble and you should be good to go.
One problem I did have with the unit is a bearing in one of the pedals after just a few days of use. The pedals are kinda cheap so I was planning on replacing them anyway with some bike pedals with rat traps. They are standard bike pedals so finding replacements shouldn't be to big of a problem.

SMALL BUT POWERFULSep 30, 2008
By S. Sarabia
"child of God"
The Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Cycle is even better quality then what I expected for the price! It is VERY sturdy and does not slide on the floor or table. For ëmpty nesters" who are trying to downsize but still want some sort of exercise equipment for those rainy or inclement days--this is great. It stores in a closet very easily. I am handicapped and I am able to sit in a comfortable position, infront of the TV and exercise my leg muscles, yet pick this up and put it on a table for upper body strengthening. TERRIFIC BUY!
