Before you buy
- Measure your space. Recumbent bikes are longer than uprights.
- Try the fit. Your leg should be slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
- Think about use. Daily 20 to 30 minute sessions beat occasional long ones for most beginners. Anyone with a medical condition should check with a doctor before starting; this is general information, not medical advice.
