Schwinn recumbent bikes let riders exercise in comfort. Isn't that one of the main reasons to choose a recumbent bike, the comfort? But why choose the Schwinn bikes? Here are what they offer...

1. Easy seating.

That's one of the most frequent positive comments from owners. Owners like the seat and the seating position too. It works for just about any body of any size. That's a big deal because the more comfortable the ride, the longer you'll ride. More time in the seat means more fat burned and better condition for you... So the more comfortable the ride, the more work you can do and the more progress you make.

2. Stable ride.

Rocking and rolling might be OK sometimes, but not on exercise bikes. The Schwinns, especially the Schwinn 240, Schwinn 230 and the Schwinn 231, are stable platforms made for serious riding. These bikes are not as heavy as many, but they are heavy enough for hard use. Also realize that stationary bikes that rock and roll are not just irritating to use. The rocking and swaying cause failure of the bikes as well. That's so because the movement of an unstable bike actually causes the bike to come apart over time.

Swaying and rocking loosens fasteners and can even cause cracks in welds, each problem tens to get worse with time until the machine simply rocks itself to pieces, literally.

3. Easy to move.

Recumbents take up more room and have a larger footprint than upright exercise bikes. That means they often get moved in and out as they get used. These bikes are made to be moved. The weight is heavy enough for stability, but not so heavy they become monuments. That's important since the easier and more convenient it is to use a bike, the more frequently it gets used.

4. Quiet.

That's because the drive is magnetic. No clanking chains, no fans, just whisper quiet magnetic drive that's tied to a computer control. The two main models of Schwinn's better recumbents, the 230 and 231, share the same drive with different computer programming power. Quiet is just one more factor that makes it more pleasant to use the machine and adds to time spent in the saddle and faster progress.

5. Fights boredom.

Boredom stops many an exercise bike rider. Steady pedaling over long time leads to total boredom. It doesn't have to be though. Computer programming builds in lots of workout routines. The computer in connection with the quiet drive simulates a wide variety of road workouts. Variety fights boredom and the bike computer provides the variety that can keep you riding longer and more frequently. That's the way to better results.

Schwinn recumbent bikes provide lots of value in mid-priced machines. Not the cheapest or most expensive bikes, these are high quality with lots of powerful electronics. Burn fat in comfort and fight boredom while you ride... the whole point of buying a comfortable and easier to use bike is to get more work done and make more progress toward burning fat and increasing metabolism.
