Finether Mini Bike Mini Cycles:Mini Pedal Exerciser Arm & Leg Mini Exercise Cycle Bike with Digital LCD Display/Adjustable Resistance Knob

This little pedal-bike is very useful, I have Fibromyalgia which is a nerve condition and has me in constant pain 24/7, my mobility has taken a massive hit and at 27 I'm now classed as disabled and have to rely on a walking stick when I go out so I don't fall as I often do without one. I cannot walk for long as the pain gets too much so I took it upon myself to find something to help strengthen my legs, lo-behold I found this and it works very well!I sit in the armchair and pedal for a little while as I watch TV, you can set your own pace, if you go fast you will get out of breath quickly though!I love the fact it has a handle to use so you can lift it up easily and it's not so bulky that it'd get in the way, it came packaged very well!The price is very good as well, much cheaper than I expected to pay for one of these.The negatives:- The grips underneath keep falling out, not that I need them much as I have a carpet in my lounge which is where I use the pedal-bike, so it stays in one spot, it's just annoying when you go to lift it and the grip falls out.- The MOST irritating part is the "clunk" sound it makes every time I use it. Every time I pedal all I hear it a continuous "clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk", I can feel something inside the bike is whacking against the side of it, but cannot open it up to check as it'd break it, the noise is as if someone is hammering on a wall, it gets very irksome after a while and is very loud! I can't say this is the same for all pedal-bikes by this seller, but I know that is how it is for the one I have.- Lastly the LCD display pad you can use to see distance, calories you've burned etc? FORGET IT. The instruction manual is awful, my dad and I were trying to set it to the calories one but because the manual doesn't specifically tell you which one that is and that you have to keep resetting it with the same button you use to switch to a different setting, we got very confused and quite frustrated with it. Bear in mind that I didn't buy this with the intention to see how much distance I've done or how many calories I burned, it was just an extra that came with it and it had me curious, but it is very disappointing that the instructions aren't clear. So I've given up on using the LCD display pad and just go ahead and pedal away regardless, but it will be a let-down for those of you that are interested in the what the little pad does.Overall it's a good design, bit heavy though, I can't lift it myself as I'm weak from the pain, one of my parents have to pick it up for me. However, it is ideal if you want to use it specifically for pedalling and none of the technical bits. It's a 50/50, I have a love-hate relationship with this bike, because while I do need it and it does help somewhat, I'm put off by the continuous "clunk" noise and that the instructions aren't clear about the pad.It really depends on what you wish to buy it for, but I will say it's a good price compared to others.

Very compact and useful if you don't have a lot of room. Only complaint is that the resistance does not seem to work.

I love the fact that I can move it easily with the handle. To stop it moving on the carpet , I had a spare rubber bath mat which works perfectly. I had a lateral tibia fracture 11 months ago and I am still suffering from inner knee pain. The consultant recommended bike exercise to strengthen the muscles without strain. This is perfect.

very neat and study to use

Perfect for my knee replacement exercise

Ok just to get your legs moving, but with the lack of resistance don't expect to get an intense workout.

Easy to assemble. I sit at a desk 5 days of the week and this is just what I needed. Hope from work, tea over and change into something more comfortable. TV on and start cycling. Really has made a difference to my leg muscles and use for my arms as well.

great for knee problems
