Review Ability To Customize The Bike

Some exercise bikes are not one-size-fits that can suit everyone. Thus, you need to choose a bike that you can customize! Look for bikes that allow you to move the handlebars and adjust the seat to get the correct fit. The exact positioning of an exercise bike relies on the type and provided user instructions. In general, upright bikes and indoor cycles should be set so that when you sit on them, your spine remains straight, your knees slightly bent when you move your feet, and your arms stay at a ninety-degree angle when you grab the handlebars.

You can do this by setting the handlebars about the length of the distance between your elbow and fist from your body. The saddle should be at the height of your hips when standing. For a recumbent bicycle, adjust the seat to ensure you can slightly bend your knee when you spread your leg. Although the positioning is vital, it may help you if you can also customize connected features!
