Marcy Recumbent Exercise Bike: ME-709

I loved that this was recumbent and therefore more comfortable for someone with Parkinson's who has to be very careful with balance and who needs exercise daily. The therapy cycles for P.D. are very spendy in the thousands so I decided this one fit the bill. The person I bought it for immediately liked it and uses it daily. It is a bit tricky to put together but not too difficult. I am a 67-year-old woman who assembled it alone and did it without too much frustration or difficulty. The person I bought if for is 72 and he uses it daily now. I use it too. I have it positioned in front of the television so he can enjoy watching a program or listening to music while getting the cycling in. I did buy some gym mats to set it on.

Was looking for a truly recumbent bike and this definitely is. It's not hard to put together, looks nice, works well and is simple. I have long legs and can sit back and fully extend legs using this, like this much better than a sort of in between an upright and recumbent I had before.
