“Can I stand on this bike while riding it to mimic hills? Currently, the bike I have squeaks terribly when I stand up to ride hills.”

• If properly assembled, standing on the peddles is fine. I have been using my IC3 for a month with no problems. I do the same thing as in spin class -- lots of standing. If the squeaking is from the brake pad on the wheel, use some silicon lubricant (like that used on treadmills). I wet a rag with the lubricant and. while turning the peddles by hand, apply the wet rag surface to the circumference of the flywheel. That silence the bike and it is very smooth. If the squeaking is from the peddles themselves - something is wrong. Call Schwinn customer service. They are very helpful.
