Body Rider BRD2000 2 in1 Elliptical Trainer Stationary Exercise Bike LCD Display, Stride Length 12.5 Inches, Max Weight 250 Lbs.

I had a problem with lining up a part and called customer service. Thr person who helped me stayed on the phone until I said I thought I could figure it out. I did figure it out and emailed her to let her know how much her advise helped me. I had fun putting the rest of the bike together also. I have since used the bike and love it. My feet hit the pedals even when I am sitting on the seat. I am a short person 5'2 so should not be a problem for most people. The seat is adjustable too.

I had knee surgery and needed to find a way to exercise in the future which did not involve high impact on my knees because I apparently am getting old and have arthritis and bone on bone in one place. Eventually I'll need knee replacement and I want to prolong it as long as possible. This piece of equipment gives two options of either biking or elliptical with no impact. I did a lot of research and checked a lot of different types of machines upfront because I wanted something lightweight with a fairly small footprint as far as taking up space. It still weighs about 60 lbs, but it has rollers to move if necessary and is lighter and smaller than almost everything else I looked at. It took a little over an hour to put together. I think the price was excellent for two machines in one and I also got free shipping. My knees were weak when I started and even on lowest tension possible, I still struggled, so it is a workout. The only thing I don't really like is that i do have to wear shoes of some kind to make it go because trying to wear just socks will not let me turn the pedals because there's not enough "grip". The pedals are long and flat so they can be used for either exercise, so it was a little awkward at first to get used to it for the bike portion. Fairly quiet operation and great way to exercise anytime of day or year without braving outside elements.
