Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I ordered a different bike by looks which turned out to be junk, I returned it and ordered this bike. When it arrived I was shocked, it looks awesome in person, it was 10 times better then the first bike I ordered. It is a super bike and its a solid bike, not junk. I am so glad I ordered this bike.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I got the bike about 3 weeks ago and running super,very quiet but get a great workout.All the parts were arranged in order but was still difficult to set up,took over 1 hour with two people and middle bar wouldn't slide in without some banging on it and one step is missing from directions and pulse monitor won't work until you figure it out.
Bike arrived in less than 1 week and in great condition.Only complaint was that Fed-Ex driver left the bike on my back porch without even attempting to ring the doorbell.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I'm so pleased with this bike. I really don't like to do exercise, though I've loved biking and waterskiing and golf-fun outdoor sports. I'm now a senior, with bad knees and a heart condition, so I can't do those things anymore, but am able to get my exercise on this bike without injury. So I'm so surprised, because of the performance and quality of this bike, that I actually enjoy riding it. Thanks, Schwinn
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I received this bike for a Christmas present and I have been using it for about six months now. I primarily use it at home whenever I am not able to make it to the gym. It provides a good workout and I am able to watch television while I work out. It is very durable and it has two rolling wheels on the front that help me transport it from my office to the family room.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I bought a different bike first and was so disappointed, returned it immediately and ordered a well known brand, SCHWINN. I should have done this to start with because it lives up to the Schwinn reputation. I have learned to go with the well known brands now, lesson learned. This bike is so sturdy and well made, not flimsy like the other brand I bought the first time.. This is a great bike. Looks even better in person.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Quiet, Smooth - very pleased with the purchase.
Delivery prompt - box in very bad shape. All components were intact though so no complaint.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I just had a knee replacement and this bike is used at the therapy facility I go to. It works well for my purpose as well as other family members.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
No problems with the bike the first couple times I used it. Very quiet but after the 3rd time I used it the bike seat started making noises. Then the wheel squeeked once or twice. I'm going to try tighten everything up and see if that helps. I work out after my baby goes to sleep and I am right outside his room so I need it to be quiet. Plus, the noise is annoying. I'm a little concerned that it will get worse the more I use it like my eliptical did. Other than that, I love it.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
The unit is easy to set up and operate. The only thing I wish it would not do is "Thump." The rectangular slide that supports the seat assembly and slides on the chrome horizontal bar moves sidweways and causes the "Thump" as I pedal. I can put a twisting force with my hands as I'm pedaling and the "Thump" disappears. I will have to develop some kind of wedge to stop the side motion.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
[...] Easy assembling and instructions. Very quiet. Like all the features on the display. Easy to reset resistance and timer for length of exercise session. This has been a godsend for me because of having difficulty with my legs and especially my knees. I'm finally getting some strength back. Very happy with this product.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Most comfortable bike I've ever used.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I ride about 30min. a day three time a week.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I am pretty handy when it comes to assemblying a product, but I still spent a couple of hours putting this bike together. But the smoothness and ease of use were worth the time. My wife loves her bike and uses it everyday while she watches her TV shows.It works as well as the fitness center models.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I ride the stationary bike 6-7 days a week at least an hour, very hard, to stay in shape for mountaineering. I shopped around after riding my last bike (just like the one before that) until it "died". I am very happy with the Schwinn 203. This bike is very solid, comfortable, and whisper-quiet. Set up was easy. Fantastic value for the price.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Comfortable, quite, easy to use
Delivery was slower than expected.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
[...]when it came the box was in great condition with all the parts intact. The bike came with a small adjustment to the directions, but pretty easy to figure out as long as you took the instructions step by step. It is SUPER quiet and really easy to use. I love the heart rate program which allows me to keep a heart rate percentage that will enhance my fitness level. I also love the recovery feature that adds an added bonus of letting me know my fitness level on a scale of 1 to 6. Now I can see how I progress in this area without having guess. It's easy to adjust to the right length and works like a charm.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
This Bike was recommended by a Friend after I had a total knee replacement. I love the quiteness,& the comfort in using. Get ready for a full afternoon to assemble but the finished product is good
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
To loosen up my knee and hips. I've had 4 knee surgeries and have had both of my hip joints replaced. It allows me to work the muscles without weight bearing. I can work my knee as hard or as gently as needed. The hardest thing for me is getting on and off, when my knee is stiff. But overall I really like it.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Great on knees for therepy and loosing weight is a breeze

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I did alot of research before I purchased our Recumbent Bike made by Schwinn. After a few days of research on the internet, especially other's who gave excellent reviews, I decided to purchase the Schwinn. The Schwinn did cost a "littel" bit more but the reliability and performance of the Schwinn easly justifies the extra cost. We are a family of 3 and we all use the Schwinn during our excercise workouts.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I use this bike all the time as well as my 13 year old step son and husband and we all love it!!!! It works great and is easily adjustable and I don't ever hear noise, i love the fact that you can program up to 4 different users, great bike for the price!!!! [...]

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I bought my bike from Mercantila and this is the BEST recumbent exercise bike I've ever owned (I burned up/wore out two cheaper ones before I finally decided to go with this one.)
I use it every day for an hour, and my husband wants to use it too but I told him to get his own! :)
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Easy to use, quiet, comfortable. Approx. 1.5 hr assembly time. I'm not sure how well it does as a clothes hanger yet (that's a good sign).
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Great product, easy to install and operate, however manuals are incomplete.Stage 2, step 7 missing. Operation of monitor unclear and not helpful to understand at all the functions. One srew didn't go into the seat rail (9) to assemble the Buffer (12) and Buffer Plate (13), srew (15) seems to be long or the receiving part damages.Hard to get a replacement.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Not bad to put together, just read the directions. Smooth and stable. The preprogrammed modules are excellent. Have not figured out how to use manual entry, heart rate, goals, etc. User manual computer section should be called "useless manual". Still, all in all excellent exercise bike for the price. Feels more stable than the step through type model 230 which I tried in the store.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
The variety with the 12 preset programs make this a great way to exercise--no boredom, fully-adjustable workout. It's very comfortable and fun to use. I've had other machines, but i use this one more consistently because i never get bored. It's quiet enuf to watch tv or listen to music and i can read while using the bike.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Both my wife and I use the bike and it easy to move from one program to another.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I had a knee replacement and during my physical therapy discovered that riding the recumbent bike really helped my range of motion and helped loosen up the knee. I use it at least once a day.
The delivery of my bike was extremely prompt. I ordered it on a Wednesday and received it on Friday of the same week. I was amazed! And it arrived in perfect condition and with free shipping, no less.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Used several times a week for cross-training in preparation for road races from 10ks to marathons. Quiet operation allows for ease in watching TV during exercise.
Had a problem with faulty pedals that came with the original shipment. Contacted the service department and they sent a new set of pedals within a week. The new ones work fine.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I like this bike pretty well. I am using it while I recoup from a fractured collar bone. I will probably use it in the winter too. The bike rides smooth and silent. It adjusts easily, but not quite enough. The seat angle needs a bit of adj for me as the backs of my legs hit the edge of the seat when I have the pedals where I want them. If there was a bit of a curved cutout there it might fix that too. The pedal placement also puts my legs kind of far apart - a lot further than a standard bike. The only other thing I would like is for the distance meter to show the increase in distance covered when riding with resistance. It shows the same with resistance or not. I still think that this is a good buy and I am happy with it.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
This machine is extremely quiet. We use it in our living room, and it does not interfere at all with talking or watching tv. It has plenty of choices for programs and also lets you choose a manual program as well. The handles are at a comfortable level and checking your heart rate is quick and simple. It was super easy to set up - my husband had it put together in less than a half hour. Great machine for a great price!!
Delivery was extremely prompt. It came in less than a week. Arrived in perfect condition.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
During setup the heart-rate cord got cut in half, despite my following the instructions to the letter.
I couldn't be happier with the bike itself. I have lower back pain and never feel uncomfortable on this bike.
It is so quiet you could just about call it silent.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I recently had a baby and it's very difficult for me to make time to go to a gym; this bike makes it easy for me to exercise at home; it's smooth and quiet and the different programs help me get a good work out. The bicycle has different levels of intensity and it has a heart rate monitor as well. I honestly love it.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I have 2 of these, home and office. The newest one is very quiet and the older one is a bit noisey. The tension is also different and I can ride 10% further in the same time on the newer one.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
The 203 Schwinn was a great added machine for our work out room,We replaced an upright style bike with this unit and works out great.My wife uses it 6 days a week and loves it.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
It is fairly easy to use. I needed help setting it up. the programs ee not intuitive adn they continue to be difficult to set the way I want.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Several people in our household use this, from those just starting an exercise program to ones already in great shape, and it provides an excellent workout program for both ends of the spectrum. The seat is comfortable and easy to adjust, it's fairly quiet, and the difficulty range is excellent, providing a quick and easy workout or an intense half hour workout or anything in between.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I bought a Schwinn 222 Recumbent on 7/20/05. I need to replace the electrical cord. [...] I do not need a new bike. I used it to exercise when I am watching TV.It is quiet.It is very heavy.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Bike is good for general fitness -- especially for someone not addicted to the gym!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
This bike is great. I look forward to using it. Adjusts to make it as hard or easy as you want to go. variety of programs. It's quiet and smooth. You can read, watch TV,or sort through your mail while riding. I liked it so much I bought one for my dad for his overall health/fitness and he loves it too.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I use this a couple of times per week, 30-40 minutes per session. I don't use the programs, I do use the timer. Feels solid. Overall it was exactly what I was looking for--solid bike at a reasonable price.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
The bike went together without much trouble at all. I recently had shoulder surgery, and was able to put the bike together in about 1 hour with 1 arm. Hardware is shrink-wrapped to cardboard and organized by install phase, which is a big plus. I'm used to a baggie of hardware (which may or may not contain the correct number of each screw, washer, etc) that many times leaves you guessing what goes where. Provided tools are OK, but if you have a socket wrench with Alan (size M32 I believe), this will speed the process.
Parts are durable and solid - box that the unit was shipped in looks like it tumbled down a flight of stairs - but nothing at all was broken or damaged or bent.
Bike is VERY QUIET! Computer easy to use... I didn't even crack the manual and was able to figure out the general operation. Pedal action has a smooth feel to it. Seating position/posture is comfortable.
I just set it up yesterday so I haven't really gotten to seriously using it yet - except to fiddle around with it after putting it together. I look forward to using it! Hopefully I will have additional positive comments after using for a few months, but can't speak to the reliability yet.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Nice bike for money. Great for the home, doesn't take up much space, easy to use, different levels of resistance.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Would like to have seen more auto programs that help build up from beginner levels. I found myself running manual adjustmnents in the beginning until I could keep up with the auto programs. Auto programs are just a little more fun!!

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I was well satisfied with this bike until the motor went out. I ordered a new motor but I the installation is more than I can handle. The motor lasted approximately 21 months. I put around 40 miles a week on the bike
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
It is very quiet and easy to use. The resistance levels go from easy to harder than I will ever use
I like the fact that the computer rates your physical condition acording to your heart rate recovery
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Great deal. Program setup and adjustments are more complicated than they need to be. Instruction booklet is not much help. The overall operation though is great.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Great rig, DOES have programs, best possible price. Takes a bit of effort to assemble, but only reasonably so. Expect to take a couple hours assembling.

I enjoy the smooth ride and like the preprogrammed workouts.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I have 2 of these and the readings are different. On the one in my office I can ride 2+ miles further in 45 minutes than the one at home. Both are quiet but the one at home makes some noise. For the value, it is the best.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
The heartrate monitor is kind of slow, but it works, and it is very convenient.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
My Schwinn 203 Recumbent was a killer deal through Mercantila stationary-bike shop. I saved a great deal of money on a quality rig which I could have paid $100's more for even at the membership warehouse stores. It functions quite well and has proven durable. Despite the description it does have a variety of programs and a customizable program as well as manual control.
Assembly is required, no biggie if you have any mechanical sense. Instructions adequate, not great.
Cons: not EASILY moved, although not terribly difficult- has wheels on one end; must lift the lighter end up to move unit. Requires wall wart power supply which is my only real regret. I used a virtually identical model at physical therapy which was self powering when pedaled. That would have been a huge plus, since there is no real need to locate near an outlet or to have to run an extension cord which gets tripped over. But for the price? Yes, I'd do it over again.
Box arrived pretty beat up, but all except one small plastic cap was in good shape. I should have probably gotten the cap replaced under warranty, but it is really only a minor aesthetic issue.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Only complaint is that the flywheel on my machine is noisy at times. Seems to have something to do with how I balance on the machine and if I'm pushing squarely on the pedals.
The bike comes with all the tools to put it together which was really nice. Putting the bike together was fun.
Shipping was very quick. In good order when it arrived.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I bought my bike about 2 years ago. I have been pretty happy with it except for the fact that I haven't been able to figure out the computer display. I also don't agree with the calorie calculation. I don't think I work off that much. Otherwise, the bike is very very reliable and very quiet.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Was looking for something that was semi-comfortable, durable, quiet, and offered some levels of resistance and that's just what I found with this bike!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
It is a very good machine & easy to use. The programs were a little hard to figure out to start with but once we got the hang of them they are very easy to follow. I would recommend the machine as I used for my ahthritis since regular bikes were too hard on my joints.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I used this recumbent bicycle weekly for about one year. One day, the electronic readout section just stopped working. The bicycle section still worked but with no resistance. I ended up giving the non-working bicycle away to charity.
I will not buy another Schwinn product in the future.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I always used to get lazy going to the gym. With this new bike in my living room ready to use in front of my favorite TV channel and comfort of home- i have no excuse. It is very easy to use and would beat work out with a treadmill or bike in gym any day! Comes loaded with different programs to choose from or make your own manually - gives you work out summary at the end. Will definitely recommend to other users.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Would have been great if it detected my pulse. Nothing beats an elliptical though.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
It is a very comfortable bike that's easy to adjust. Just wish it was a little quieter.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
The bike is great for exercise and set up is easy, quiet to operate and easy to use if you are over 5'3". But if you are a person that is less than 5'3" then you need to do your homework and find out how the seat and pedal adjustment lengths work. I am 5'1" and I had to have the seat readjusted (Brought forward) so I could reach the pedals. Even with the adjustment it is not as comfortable I would say as a regular exercise bike.
Delivery and ordering was very easy and smooth.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Has a solid feel, works for me, was relatively inexpensive vs. other equipment I considered. My only cons: I find that the seat squeaks when I pedal. Bigger con: programming isn't that intuitive. I need to consult the manual to change certain settings, which usually isn't the case. But overall, I can recommend this bike.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this unit about 3 years ago, after heart surgery. I use it when I am unable to get to the gym. I am quite impressed with the quality of this machine. It is very comparable, in all respects, to units that I have used at my gym.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I get a great workout on this bike whether I go for 10 minutes or 60 minutes. There's a great variety of pre-set workout plans and it is very quiet to use. I wish it ran on battery power and not electric power, but haven't found it to be a huge problem. I would buy this bike again because it is comfortable, quiet and gives me a great workout.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I've had the bike for 6 weeks and use it 4 to 5 time a week. It was easy to put together, easy to use and very quiet.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
A great exercise bike. The only difficulty is understanding the diagrams in the setup manual. Once you figure those out it is not difficult to actually setup. A joy to ride and very silent.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I am using for strength training and cardo workout. It is very easy and quiet to use.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I have started to use the recumbent bike for my rehab from double knee replacement and find that I am enjoying using it. It is a great product that makes exercising easy.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Great product. Quiet operation and stability were all-important to me. Wanted to be able to watch TV while on the bike. It's perfect. Also important were pre-programmed regimens. This model has everything I need.I am NOT into self-assembly, but I consider myself very competent when I do have to do it. This bike came with excellent instructions, and all the parts were well organized and numbered to correspond with the instructions. HOWEVER, the "electrical" part of the assembly was not well-described and caused me to ruin a key feature (the heart rate monitor hook-up). [...] Other than that, I've been very satisfied with the bike and highly recommend it.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Had difficulty understanding the computer and setting up programs. The instruction manual did not match the CRT display, or the instructions on it. Once I figured it out, it seems to work well.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
[...]Very good. I quit the "spa" because it became inconvinent. The 203 seems to be an adequate replacement for the spa machines. I can't speak to the durability but it looks to be very solid. Allocate about 2 hours for assembly but the frustration level is pretty low.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Seems to be a solid unit. Set-up was a little tough - but instructions were prety helful.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I use the bike every day, twice a day. It is quiet, easy to operate, and has great pre-set programs and many choices of resistance levels. I use it for aerobics training. The best thing about it is you have back support but it also works your abs because you are sitting back. This is a great bike for anyone who has a back problem and needs support but it would be good for anyone who wants a good workout. I also find the seat very comfortable for long workouts.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
An excellent purchase!
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
This bike will be the anchor of my fitness program. So far i have used it 3 days out of each of the first two weeks since I assembled it. My target is 4 days per week.

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
There is not enough info given on this product when purchasing. I relied on the Schwinn name but it wasn't for me at all. I am 5'3" and could not comfortably reach the pedals even after adjusting it all the way. Also the programming is difficult and the movement feels very manual (as opposed to electronic).

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Right now I am using this bike for therapy for my knees, but I have tried the other programs(higher resistance) and am lookingforward to the other advantages this amazing recumbent can give me! In short, this bike is stable, sturdy, and extremely comfortable to ride.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
Good stable bike for the price. I am 240pd and it did not wobble and was able to take a fast rpm. Programs were not that easy to figure out and mostly did manual. After 6 months either the computer or adjustable motor went out and would not adjust the tension. Other then that the bike was good for the price.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
i like being able to change my workout.
Comments about Schwinn Schwinn 203 Recumbent Bike:
I love this bike for all the reasons mentioned above. It also has a difficulty level for an easy ride to a super-sweat work out. 12 different programs too. I use all of them. Can read, watch TV, go through your mail while riding. Makes me want to use it. Got one for my dad too.

It is very easy to use and I have it set up in my living room. I can put a movie on and go an hour and a half and not even realize it.

I think this is a great bike for the price. I am not at all mechanically inclined and I put it together myself in about 2 hours. It is so quiet and comfortable. I really wanted something that would get me back into shape and toned and I already feel like it is working. 45 minutes a night flies by, but it is a tough workout depending on which program you choose. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
