@cowboydann: I almost did just to steal your thunder

How many hangers will fit on the handlebars? I got 23 on my treadmill...

Does the guy come with it?

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!

@kirika: These kind of magnetic bikes tend to be great. The reason is lack of moving parts. You have a disk (shaped like a disk brake on your car)you pedal this disk and on either side of it, are magnets as you turn up the power to the magnets the resistance increases. But the parts never touch each other.

You can find this same kind of magnetic resistance on tons of bikes now a days used on Craigs List. I bought my mom one it works on six D batteries and cost $250 new and cost me $40 used. Don't buy the exercise bikes with straps. But those still get you in shape.

BTW I bought my Lifecycle exercise bike with the same engine in 1993-94? That sucker still works I bought the base model with no bells and whistles for $700 (cheapest they ever sold a bike for). Only problem is that the power cord got frayed, I got a friend to wire it back into the plug. That was at year 10 of daily use.

Good Luck

How noisy is this thing? Would using it in an apartment be a quick way out of my lease?

Academy Sports website has this things for $99, but not available online, just in-store.

@stoutmj: http://www.amazon.com/Body-Max-Deluxe-Magnetic-Recumbent/dp/B004IZAFYO/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

$579.24 on Amazon

Since when did Steve-O model sports equipment?

I can't see this being that great of a deal if Academy Sports is selling them for $99.

Wish I had a store near me. I'd pick one up for that price.

@woothulhu: Since he got that expensive new girlfriend (one of George Clooney's castoffs, I think). He needs the extra money to keep her from realizing he's a giant tool.

To whoever asked about noise, these recumbent bikes are essentially noiseless outside of the soft "swisshing" sound of your thighs rubbing together (heh) and the sound of the rotating pedals. Its not like the "thud thud thud" of a treadmill and no motor sound because there isn't one.

This is about as silent as exercise gets to be honest...the loudest sound will likely be you, sucking wind.

However, bikes really come down to their "programmed routines". While you can set a manual level of resistance it is not ideal, most bikes have different resistance programs that will switch it up for you, it keeps you from being bored, also from over-working/hurting yourself (unless you perpetually ride up-hill in the wild and coast home). My Schwinn has great routines, I'm not sure about this one.

I was hoping for a generator on this bike too! But I guess that costs way more. Started looking around and found: http://genarider.com/ It starts at $1.4k. Yowtch!

@xeriandros: Magnetic, so there won't be much noise at all.

Mine took about 20 minutes to assemble thats very odd that someone would have difficulty as Im not very mechanical. Works Great, The pre Set Programs and color screen is awesome.

If it's the same type of magnetic wheel as they use in ellipticals, they can definitely start making noise when internal washers break and parts start clipping, squealing, and creaking. I have no experience with this brand, but the design is not guaranteed to be silent.

Day number 5 and looking for that shipped notice!!!

@denniswkam: Thanks! Really looking forward to it. My old hand-me-down treadmill is slipping worse every day. They're gonna find me face down with the broken belt slapping my cold face some morning...Have a great day.

and nothing in the email this morning: :-(

12 days and still nothing. At what point do I request a refund? Or is there hope...Please respond

I may have two addresses. Can you email me to the one associated with the order? Thanks!
