Glossary of Terms |
Maximum User Weight = Each recumbent exercise bike, depending on its construction has a maximum user weight limit. More expensive bikes generally can handle more weight. So if the limit is 300 lbs, and you are over 300 lbs., you should not buy this exercise bike, but look for one with a higher weight limit. If you weigh substantially less than the weight limit, this will put less strain on the machine and parts.
Friction Brake = This is the traditional way indoor cycling bikes produce more resistance (in a addition to a heavy flywheel). The friction is usually applied from the top of the flywheel, and the replaceable friction pads are made from a variety of materials. |
