Product Reviews by admin0 comments

The benefits of having an indoor exercise bike at home are undeniable. It’s no wonder that more and more people are starting to realize the pros of getting an exercise bike, and some are already convinced that they should buy one. However, knowing whether you should buy an exercise bike is very different from knowing which one you should buy. That’s why we are here to help you decide which product is best suited for you. If you are searching for the top upright exercise bikes under 500 dollars, then the ANCHEER Indoor Cycling Bike, Belt Smooth Quiet Drive Indoor Exercise Bike is one that you shouldn’t miss.

Features and Specifications

Indoor Bike With Adjustable Resistance

The ANCHEER Indoor Cycling Bike, Belt Smooth Quiet Drive Indoor Exercise Bike features an adjustable resistance, which is standard in most exercise bikes and sometimes a deal-breaker for buyers. This allows you to increase or decrease the difficulty level to suit your need and preference. This is an essential and useful feature because it offers you flexibility – it allows you to adjust the intensity of your routine based on your current progress and exercise plan. Additionally, you can easily and smoothly adjust the resistance of the bike even as you exercise.

This bike has an overall size of around 109 cm x 68 cm x 110 cm (42.9” x 18.9” x 43.4”) and weight of around 31 kg (68 lbs.). This is relatively small compared to other home gym bikes which make it great for indoors. It also has a built-in water bottle holder located on the side of the frame in the front-wheel.

IDITAROD TRAIL INVITATIONAL 2012

The following is my highly fictionalized account of my recent adventure in Alaska. A more accurate accounting of the event will be forthcoming from my faithful manservant Andy. How did I get to this point? I’m at the 210 mile checkpoint at Rohn and I’m coming to the realization that my dream of getting to McGrath is coming to an end. I’ve just seen a picture of my frostbitten face and know that to continue would risk some serious long-term injuries. I then slept for 6 hours before pulling the plug but the reality is that I was hoping for some kind of fairy tale miracle cure that wasn’t about to happen. The event had started 6 ½ days earlier in the town of Knik on Sunday the 26th at 2 pm. The day started with loading our bikes in a van to be transported to the start and then a 1 ½ hour bus ride to the start. At Knik, we all gathered in the bar & grill and it seemed to be a part of the right of passage that most of the racers had a big greasy burger and fries as our pre race meal. Not the norm but then again most races don’t last any where from 4 – 10 days. It wasn’t going to be a mad sprint off the line. In the days before the start I’d met a number of the other competitors.  There was a pre race party on Friday evening sponsored by Greg Matyas at Speedway Cycle. Greg is the owner and designer of Fatback Bicycles as well as an outstanding racer who came
