About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Ride longer and harder with the Nautilus® U514 upright bike, which features enhanced programming and an integrated Polar® heart rate system. The electronically controlled magnetic resistance provides you with a smooth and efficient workout, and the powerful fan and multi-point seat and console adjustments are all biomechanically designed for comfort.
