 Great bikeMar 10, 2010
Instructions were pretty clear to follow in putting the bike together. It did take me 5 hours but I was being very cautious and that's probably good for an elderly woman. Very pleased with the comfort, quality and program selections. All works fine and has all the bells and whistles I need.
 Wonderful purchase!Mar 04, 2010
I had been having back troubles with a bulging disc. All recommendations were that exercise would help. I bought the Schwinn recumbent bike several weeks ago and have been riding 30 minutes a day. My back problems have improved dramatically and I feel much better. The bike was easy to put together and is so quiet. You can watch TV very comfortable and not have to turn the sound up. The front piece was cracked in shipping but felt it would be more hassle to send back and would not impede any of the functions of the bike. I would highly recommend this wonderful bike!
 Product is Fine - NORDIC TRACK C/S HORRIBLEMar 03, 2010
Sorry for the rant. I purchased the new Nordic Track C4 si and it is a very nice machine. Nordic Track although has some of the worst customer service that I have ever experienced. The bike came within a few days of ordering 2/11/2010. Although Nordic Track ships the power pack (power cord) seperately (not sure why). It is now 3/3/2010 and I have talked to Nordic Track customer service atleast ten times and have been sent to every dept. that supposedly handles power packs. Why is it that you buy a $700 machine and it doesn't come with a power cord??? I have been told buy multiple customer service representatives that the package is shipping or has been shipped but they can't produce a tracking number. When asked to speak with a supervisor, I have been hung up on or placed on hold forever (50 minutes before I hung up. CAUTION!!!
good purchaseMar 02, 2010
Read quite a few reviews before purchase and it stands up to them all. This model was no longer carried in the store and was the one that was rated well by Consumer Reports. Box arrived slightly crunched but parts all intact. Very easy to put together even though i would agree to put together the display part first and feed the wires down the tube and attach vs. the directions saying the opposite.
Is a pretty quiet ride and the only downside my husband finds but i'm fine with it is he has trouble reading the display. Good bike for the money
very pleased with bike and amazonMar 02, 2010
After knee surgery, my doctor recommended swimming or bike riding to strengthen both knees. I decided on a recumbent bike and spent alot of time researching brands and reviews before deciding on a Schwinn. The holidays and a lack of vendors in my area, made finding and trying the bike a problem. I was not keen on ordering sight unseen over the internet. The Schwinn 230 was a contender and when this bike went on sale on Amazon.com, I jumped at the price (even though I was still concerned about ordering a heavy expensive item before seeing/trying it). However, 1 1/2 hours passed from the time I saw the sale and deciding to order, and by then, the bike was sold out but I had the option of wait listing. I decided to order. Within days, I received notice the bike had shipped and the carrier was Fed Ex. Normally I do not have great luck with this carrier, but the bike arrived 2 days head of schedule and first thing in the morning! The package arrived in good shape, all parts were in the box and it took my husband about 30 minutes (he is mechanically inclined!) to assemble.
I ride between 5 and 7 days a week and love this bike. My goal was to first strengthen my knees and then benefit from the exercise, and I am seeing results. I find the bike easy to use, it has more resistance levels than I probably need, and is comfortable and quiet. The price was the best I found, and the special included free shipping. I definitely recommend this bike and am very happy with my Amazon experience.
