I'm a runner with very little experience with bikes, but a knee injury got me looking for a bike. I settled on this bike after looking at a number of options and trying out a few bikes at stores and hotel gyms. Some thoughts after owning it for a month:
Positive:
* The bike is QUIET. Someone in the next room will not hear you using it.
* The bike is far smoother than others that I tried - there isn't any jerkiness on the pedals when resistance changes.
* The seat back is really comfortable - it's more like one of those Aeron chairs than a workout machine chair.
* The bike comes with a variety of pre-programmed workouts that I've found really useful.
* I had to do a warranty repair of a broken cable (see below) and the repair guy commented that this is a well-built machine that he doesn't get many calls on.
* Due to a part that was broken during shipping I had to talk to customer service, and they were great - a single email that included a photo of the broken part and my serial number resulted in a new part being shipped to my house and an on-site repair guy at my door, with no additional cost to me.
* A minor point, but the bike looks cool. The yellow panels give it some flair, while most workout machines seem to ignore aesthetics.
Negative:
* As noted by other reviewers, the box was completely beaten up when it arrived at my door, and the wire connector to the console was severed. Customer service was great, but stronger packaging probably would have eliminated this issue.
* The electronics on the machine are a bit disappointing. For example, the display is all text and thus there isn't any easy way to tell what the "terrain" you're on is like or will change to in the future. Similarly, the info presented on screen is limited and you have to change screens to see calories burned, current speed, etc. In an age of iPods and touchscreens the bike's electronics feel like they're about ten years out of date.
* I started assembling the unit before discovering the broken wire, and while the instructions are clear and all tools are provided, there's a fair amount of sweat required to get it together. Since a repair guy was coming out to install the warranty-repair wire harness I ended up just paying him to finish the install.
* While the seat back is amazingly comfortable and feels like an office chair, the seat bottom is closer to a traditional bike seat and not as comfortable as I'd hoped for.
Overall I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others, although if Livestrong comes out with a model that has improved electronics then that would definitely be worth considering as an upgrade. Note that I don't really use the speakers so can't comment on them, although it seems like the iPod connectivity is well thought out.
Some advice on the price: the price on this bike at Amazon seems to fluctuate by a few hundred dollars, so keep an eye on it to ensure you get the best possible deal.

My husband has loved this bike and used it faithfully for the last 6 months. He is of normal weight and very average use. I know he likes to lean back on the seat. Last night the seat tore at the edges. I think that is a major drawback for this mesh seat. Obviously, a regular seat would not have torn.

All of a sudden osteoarthritis hip problem appeared. Doctor recommended a recumbent bike. After 3 weeks of hardly being able to walk and only a week of using this bike I am back to functioning. AWESOME. Yes I will always have the arthritis but I have always been a person on-the-go and this brings back being able to walk without extreme pain and lessening the amount of medications. This machine is extremely quiet and after trying other bikes I found that I could use this past the initial pain and on to a "good" workout. Very, very comfortable.
