Reviewer: Terry Parks from Boston 
If you are new to stationary bikes you may wonder what a recumbent bike is and why I would use it over an upright bike. I will start by saying I use both types. Which one I choose really has more to do with how hard I want to work. I find my cardio vascular work on a recumbent bike easier and more comfortable. It is more comfortable on my back because it has a seat with a back. If my back is bothering me a bit from my workout the day before, then I might choose the recumbent. Or perhaps I am in the middle of a book that I cannot put down and just want an easy workout then I will want to ride casually and read. I find this easier to do on a recumbent bike.
The Star Trac Pro is an easy to use bike. It is not extremely sophisticated but it has enough features for anyone’s needs. The handle bars on the Star Trac Pro have built in heart monitors. These handle bars are on the side by the seat. Many bikes have the heart monitor in front of the rider. Having them on the side is really neither a pro or con. If I were to think of a pro to this I would say that the handlebars on the side make a good resting places for my hands. Other than that where these handle bars are on any given bike, in my opinion, makes no difference.
This bike has handle bars as well below the console right in front of the rider. They have rubber on them. I rarely put my hands on these bars. I find that they are up a little to high to be a resting place for me hands. Also unlike an upright bike where I might raise myself if biking uphill (on a stationary bike) and I would want to hold on to these handle bars, this does not happen on a recumbent where staying seated is mandatory.
The seat is somewhat easy to adjust. I say somewhat because the first time I sat on it about 7 months ago, I couldn’t find the knob that moves the seat and once I did I did not know what to do with it. I am a personal trainer so it is a bit embarrassing to even admit that. I am used to the knob in front of the seat that is easy to see and just pulls up. The knob on the Star Trac is more of a handle than a knob and it is on the left side by the seat. I cannot see it when I am seated. Once I found the knob/handle I then had to figure out that I did not pull this but lifted it up slightly. Once lifted the seat moves easily.
The seat is not heavily padded but it is comfortable. Even after an hour on the bike my butt is not numb. The back is padded enough to be comfortable as well. It is a high back coming up almost to my neck.
The service has been simply fantastic and the bike arrived on time and in great condition. Why buy new when you can have such quality a great price.
