    So I bought this bike when it was posted on SC just before boxing day on the shopping channel.
    https://www.theshoppingchannel.com/F...354,E:11718259

    I read the reviews and knew it was a hit or a miss because people either loved it or hated it. Well I love it. I was 36 dollars including tax and shipping and its very heavy so I am guessing that only pays the shipping to get it out of the warehouse. I got mine in aqua. I put off putting it together after reading the reviews I thought it would take a lot time and it maybe took me an hour. The lowest height fits me perfectly and honestly I have a kids size legs. It's a very smooth ride and a decent size for my tiny condo.

    My new cellphone plan which also picked up thanks to SC with a free computer and LG G3...counts my steps automatically if I wear it and each pedal counts as a step so if I haven't reached my goal of 10,400 steps a day I get on this thing with my phone in a pocket, watch my favorite show and walaa I reach my goal every night.

    It's a deal and half. So now we just have to see if the weight comes off this year I have been trying to lose. I feel thinner but that might be in my head.

    Honestly...I wouldn't hesitate...few exceptions I might not get one for someone with a history of balance issues..or the elderly because it's a unicycle and while I have never tipped over personally I can see how someone could tip over on it. If you have normal balance and want a core workout..if you have space considerations that prevent you from buying a normal bike stationary bike this thing is perfect and at this price...32 bucks including shipping. In a worse case scenario you could make money selling it on craigslist in 6 months when they are all sold out.

    You can place it somewhere where you can hold onto something like a bar or a staircase, if you have balance issues . But I don't think tipping will be a problem, if you exercise moderately .

    Got the second last one this morning. Was so undecided and then when I finally decided to order it, there were only 2 left. Glad I checked it this morning. Looking forward to using the bike. Thanks OP for letting us in on this deal.

    Congrats on the bike...great deal indeed. However, in your quest to achieve the stuff in BOLD, the bike is just one part of the equation. The main and primary ingredient for weight loss, is to go into a calorie deficit i.e. you have to cut / eat right meaning less calories going in than you are dropping.

    There is no magic pill and no amount of exercise is going to work unless the food intake is reduced. So pizza, beer, chocolates, double double coffee, etc have to be reduced gradually.
