Product Summary
The Schwinn 130 Upright Bike can be a great addition to any gym. It comes with 13 workout programs built in that you can follow along to on the 5.5-inch LCD screen, which helps with visibility and goal tracking. If that doesn’t work for you, you are also able to connect with cycling classes on apps like Explore the World and Zwift on your phone or tablet. The bike also allows you to place your handheld device or book on a media shelf so you can watch or read while you bike.
The bike itself provides a smooth, quiet ride due to its flywheel system. The product has a sturdy frame, 16 magnetic resistance levels, and a one-piece pedal crank and oversized pedals with toe straps. On the front of the bike, there is a water bottle holder so you can stay hydrated while you ride. The seat is padded and the handles are positioned in a place that is easy to reach for most. If not, they are easily adjustable so they can fit the height and placement that you’re looking for.
