Schwinn - IC4 Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike - Gray

If you are thinking about buying this bike trust me & BUY IT!!! Quiet ride and Quality equipment! Assembly was very easy! Took my husband about 40 minutes & he's not a big "I'm going to put this together guy!" Lol! He REALLY wanted to get this together for me. I have not been able to get my cycling on since January 2020 due to the pandemic! Previously purchased other equipment & NOTHING compares or works like this baby! I'm 5'3 so I did not experience issues w/ my legs or knees hitting anything. Everything was extremely easy to adjust. The seat everybody is complaining about is like the average seat on any cycling bike including ones in gyms. I don't really stay sitting long so not a bother. I read in other reviews you can replace it if needed. Screen was very nice & readable! I have Multiple Sclerosis so having something like this is key in my life for "Quality of life" b/c if you don't move it you will definitely lose it! Prior to pandemic i was clocking in almost 24 miles in 50mins. Today after being off a cycling bike for over 2yrs I was able to get a little over 10 miles in 27 minutes which considering everything I have going on (medically) I am not beating myself up about it... That is how smooth the ride was on this bike! Then i was definitely excited my husband caught this on deal of the day for $499! So a GREAT purchase for a steal of a deal was awesome! Excuse the pictures but I had it setup next to my Elliptical & I'm not trying to advertise that!

I purchased this bike in October of 2021. I didnt realize at the time it came with a LCD display. I’m going to have to reach out and find out what happened. The bike itself runs quiet as a whisper. I’d recommend finding a new seat though as the one it came with is pretty uncomfortable. I do like that you can adjust the resistance so you can push yourself. I’d just be sure that you get everything that the site says it comes with.

I really enjoy this purchase. It’s a great bang for the buck. I’ve rode a similar model Schwin for many years at my local fitness center, so I am very familiar with it. I especially like the versatility of using my iPad, as opposed to a fixed screen. Also, the transition between speeds is really smooth. Some people have a problem with the fact that cadence isn’t shown as a digit, but a bar graph on the top of the display. But any program I run shows the stats on my iPad, including cadence - so it isn’t an issue to me. Putting it together was fairly simple, however I did reference a YouTube video for one part. It took me 20-30 min to put together. The only (MAJOR) complaint I have is that my knees hit the water bottle when I pedal standing up. I’m only 5’-6” tall. So it you are taller, be warned! As a fix, I prop my water bottle ON TOP of the water bottle holder and lean it against the inside of the handle bars (see photo). Please note, even if the design did work and my knees weren’t an issue (LOL), the holder is too narrow. Most of my water bottles don’t fit into the slot, including the one in the pic. This issue cost Schwinn a star (4/5) in my overall rating, as hydration is as important (if not more) as the smoothness and flexibility of the ride. I would have taken 1 1/2 stars off if I could have. SCHWINN has to do better.

The quietest exercise bike I’ve ever used. Setup wasn’t bad. I took a tape measure to my city bike (because the set up is between my mountain bike and my road bike). Hopped on and started knocking out rides. I up graded my seat to a gel seat and will probably upgrade the pedals (I took the toe clips off and I am using the clip ins). The bike fits me (6’ and a long torso) but I have the handle bars at the max extension so something to check if you are taller. It’s very stable and feels solid. Lots of resistance to work with.

Love this bike. I like that you can bring your own device and use whatever program you want. I use it with my Apple iPad Pro and use Apple Fitness Plus for the cycling classes. It’s really good quality from what I can tell and has held up very well since I bought it. Highly recommend this bike as I bought it for a fraction of the price of another well known stationary bicycle brand. I assembled the bike myself in under 2 hours.
