Our New Exercise Bike

My wife and I had been searching for an exercise bike that is comfortable and affordable. And we found that the Marcy recumbent bike is the best exercise bike for both criteria. Disregarding the time used in reading the instruction manual and taking everything out of the box, my son and I had been able to set it up within an hour. I believe I could also do it myself with no trouble.
There is a monitor that tells you how much time you have cycled, as well as your speed, the calories you have burned and the distance you have traveled (which is 0 to me, no matter what it says). It is pretty quiet, surprisingly. I had been expecting some kind of sound, since our old bike had cranked like a train.
My wife is happy that there are several resistance levels to choose from, so that she can build her strength besides working on cardio.
