Schwinn Airdyne Upright Exercise Bike – Problems?

Look, I’ve been riding a Schwinn Airdyne exercise bike for almost twenty years. This machine does several things well. However, there are some problems with this machine. You may want to think about these issues before purchasing an Air Dyne. Are here…

Noise.

This is not a quiet exercise bike. Stamina comes from becoming a huge fan. That’s a loud fan. If you want more resistance, just pedal faster. The faster you pedal, the stronger it gets. This is not the machine for you if you want to watch movies or listen to music while driving. But that big fan can surely keep you cooler on hot days! Also…

No computer.

The computers on many bikes allow you to enjoy pre-programmed exercise routines. There’s no computer on the Airdyne, so you can create your own workouts. Be sure to realize this lack of computing power. Then again, there are no fancy electronics to break down either…

Why would someone like this machine? Why are they still selling?

Here’s the deal… This is a rugged machine that will last and last with little to no maintenance. It is a simple design that helps you get a great exercise at home and is very easy to use. Simple… but not easy. You can get a full body workout with this machine that is better than machines that cost hundreds of dollars more.

It’s that dual action design that works your arms and shoulders as well as your legs. That full-body bike workout is the fastest way I know of to get in shape and burn fat.

A Schwinn Airdyne upright exercise bike is a loud stationary bike without a computer. But this is a robust machine that encourages the kind of workouts that get you fit and in shape fast and at home.
