stevenrfranklin asked:


Is there much difference in calories burned, quality of exercise or comfort? The bicycle will be used for general weight loss and fitness purposes, not hardcore training.

me e asked:


it says to use a bicycle pump attachment – well we have loads and none fit so went out and bought a pump that blows up footballs as well thinking that might help but that didn’t work. so erm don’t know what to try next. any ideas?

Joyce asked:


I have an old DP Fitness for Life Air Strider. I call it a stand up bicycle, since their is no seat. On it, my feet go around in a pedal motion. For my arms, I hold on to two levers (handles) that go back and forth and enable my arms to make the same motion I would make if I was running. The whole exercise seems equivalent to jogging without the impact that you would get on the ground. I really liked this machine, but it is now worn out. What do they call this kind of exercise equipment today? Where can I get a good deal, possibly factory refurbished? Thanks!

Bill J asked:


I would like to start biking to work and also as a recreation/fitness goal. I’m not sure what kind of bike to get! Do I need a hybrid, mountain or another type? I will be riding it over 12 miles a day and also the roads I have to take it down are not in good shape. Anyone have any ideas?

I’ve been riding a bike for the last few weeks and was wondering if it would have any effect of my fitness level. I was also wondering which muscles get exerted during the bicycle riding.
