6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Good bike but poor packaging.,January 10, 2012 By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Schwinn IC2 Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike (Sports) I just got this bike last week and after a few hours of riding it I must say it is well made. The ride is smooth, not too noisy and the all construction seems very solid.The packaging, however, is done poorly--the hand bar of the bike scratched the main frame. I actually returned the first bike I got, but the second one had the same issue. Yet, after calling Amazon I received a nice discount (they refund my credit card) so altogether I'm happy with the purchase. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful not too fancy, with good features, but the seat..,January 26, 2012 By |

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I chose this bike because I've lost a lot of weight and wanted to add some simple exercise to my life to help keep it off. I'd heard that Schwinn was a good brand, and this bike didn't seem too fancy. First, prospective buyers should note that this bike has a 250 pound maximum weight limit.PROS:
1. Comes with an electronic monitor, which takes 2 AA batteries (not included, of course), that tracks calories burned, distance, MPH, RPM and time spent cycling. It was simple to use: put in the batteries, plug it into the cord attached to the bike and start going. It comes on automatically when the bike is in use.
2. Straightforward assembly. I'm usually not the best at assembling things, but I was able to put this together by myself with no problems, in about 30 minutes. Plus, it had all the necessary tools included.
3. Resistance/tension setting for easier or more challenging pedaling, which can be adjusted while riding.
4. Heavy, solidly built frame and wheel. The bike feels completely stable.
5. Very quiet - can easily hear a tv or music device over the sound.
6. Cup holder included.
CONS:
1. The seat is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. The tiny wedge feels like it has no padding at all. I am already looking for a gel-padded cover. Considering the cost of the bike, this was a big disappointment. I deducted one star just for this.
2. Though I didn't deduct any stars for it, as a girly girl, I wish the frame were black instead of gray, so it's not quite such an eyesore in my living room.
Unlike other reviewers, I had no issue with the packaging or delivery. The bike arrived in perfect condition, and the box was easy to open. Please see my pictures of the actual bike I received. Overall, I am satisfied with the bike but I am not certain it is worth the $400 price tag (Amazon's discounted price as of this writing). There are many other bikes in this price range, with solid reviews. Since I only wanted this to help lose weight, it is probably more than I need for the price, and would have earned 3 stars. However, I gave it four because those that are more serious about exercising/training may be better satisfied and I honestly cannot compare it to other models that I haven't tried.
UPDATE: I purchased a gel padded seat cover, Imitation Sheepskin Padded Bicycle Seat Cover, that was under $10 and Prime. It has helped.
2nd UPDATE: The padded cover was just not sufficient in the long run (though it may be for others). After a week, I hurt enough that I stopped using the bike altogether. I ended up buying a new seat, at a cost of $60, at a local bike shop. I was uncertain about buying online since not all seats have the same method of attaching. The new seat is wonderful, and I have been using the bike regularly. Still, it's very disappointing to have to buy a new seat for a bike that retails at $600.

My husband and I are quite pleased with this bike, its very sturdy and we had no shipping issues. We've had it for two weeks now. As another reviewer noted its quiet and smooth. I can ride it comfortable, but so can my husband which is great because he is 6'4" and fits on this bike very comfortably(not true of all bikes!). It took 2 of us 15 minutes from bringing it in the house to riding it(including clean up of the shipping box). My Dad also bought one and put it together himself and said it took 30 minutes and he felt it was easy. One thing I love about the bike is there are no places where my 2 year old can stick his fingers into and become injured when I ride it! You do have to change the resistance manually which I could see bothering some people, but it doesn't bother me. Its not difficult to do and you don't have to get off the bike to do it, although you do need to slow down a bit. You have to recognize that you get what you pay for, this bike is significantly cheaper than other bikes and does not have the perks of them. The console is nice, but not fancy(again you get what you pay for here), it cycles through time, distance, RPM, speed and calorie feedback. It changes through them about every 10 seconds. Its easy to move around and adjust the seat or handle bars. I do recommend a gel seat cover for the bike seat as its not cushioned.In short we are really happy with this bike, its great quality for the money!
