Oh. I've been riding 30-40 minutes twice a day. In the morning I read/respond to email and drink my morning coffee and in the evening I read student submissions and web articles. The computer may be off [I have no way of testing it], but the timer is close to what the stopwatch on my watch says, and if the rest [speed, distance, calories] is within 10% of accurate that's fine with me. I think that they are close though.

Also wonder if it holds a regular size laptop. Mine is 16 inch elongated screen, like the new ones are.

You do not even know you are pedaling after only a short time. The effect of the flywheel pulling your legs around in the begging on a low resistance setting helps the initial adjustment time to raising your heart rate. It is as easy as reading a book on an stationary bike. Only more comfortable. And you can read a book.

I'm a former rehab counselor, now a writer. While the ergonomics of this desk may be great for bicycling, my shoulders and back hurt just looking at it. As a touch typist I can tell you your hands should be elevated a bit, not sprawling onto the keyboard as illustrated. Basically, typing ergonomics require you to have all joints at either a 90-degree (knees, elbows) or 180-degree angle (wrists). I'll have to take a disappointed pass on this one.

Yes - bought it. Used it first time today while wasting time watching TV. Will need some adjustment for height (I'm 5'4") and want to remedy the rock-hard seat, but so far I love it! I waste so much time surfing internet and watching TV, it's a welcome use of multi-tasking for me. No complaints at all. Note: The laptop does not come with it.

Yes it is ~19" wide and is so stable most never use the supplies straps after the first couple uses.

There really was no setup except for plugging it in. As far as storing, it doesn't fold. I have mine in my office underneath an electronic standing desk. I have a bench straddled over the treadmill so I can either walk, stand, or sit to work on my computer.

Yeah, it would. This product really is easy to attach to any exercise unit. Be warned though, the small vibrations the machine makes get transfered to your laptop. I destroyed my computers hard drive just using this for 3 45 minute sessions of walking @2.5 mph (not fast at all). I actually wouldn't recommend it unless your laptop has a solid state drive.

I use the treadmill under my regular desk. I purchased the TALL Speedy Standup Desk here on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5SY94E/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) to elevate my laptop. Be sure to get the TALL version, as the extra few inches compensate for the height of the treadmill. The desk is really sturdy and it works great for me.

The Weider 200 Power Tower is not a very sturdy exercise machine especially when you are doing the dip excercises. It shakes when your doing the dips but not enough to make you fall. Otherwise it is a good exercise machine. :)

No, it is not. It is a large formed foam type piece that fits over the handlebars snugly and can easily be removed. It has a cloth cover. There is an elastic band that is pulled over the edge of the laptop giving it a bit more stability. Since the desk itself can be taken off and, if you are crafty, you might be able to contrive an alternative desk but the handlebars limit how low the desk can go. I once needed to use my large desktop computer rather than my laptop so I removed the desk top and moved the bike as close as was safe to my computer, adjusted the monitor on a separate table to view easily. I laid a small board across the handlebars and rested the keyboard and mouse on it.

I've put weight on mine while doing light tasks (surfing, email etc.) but also a little more aggressive video games on Steam. Both supported on a table with me leaning forward on it. But also unsupported with my laptop being in my lap on a couch and the mouse tray in the air off to my side. For the record. I've used mine as a daily staple since Dec 27th for at least 8 hrs a day. I keep it in my bag which gets tossed between my trunk, my house and my parents house while I've been taking care of them the time I've had it.

This product is actually the small MouzPad Wizard that is attached to the laptop holder. So for the laptop holder, yes no problem with a 6 lb laptop. Very durable, but extremely light plastic. You can get an unlimited number of tilting angles.. Very, very durable product.

Hmmmm The difference in the motion on this machine is that the foot motion is alternating pushing rather than the round motion of a bike. I find this machine a little difficult to get on and off and the downward slope of the seat might make it feel a little insecure. If I had Parkinson's, (my father did, so I am familiar) I would look into the NuSep. Much safer transfer and larger seat. If I can make an additional suggestion, both Cardio Rehab and Pulmonary Rehab programs use a variety of these machines. If you can find one of these programs perhaps you can give a call and see if they will let you come in and check the equipment out. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay. I have several herniated disc in my back and the small motions that you have to hold really aggravated my back and neck. I also hated that a majority of the work out DVD was done on the matt and basically a modified sit up and nothing to do with the barre. If you think you would use this to stretch or are creative enough to learn your own workout routines it might be worth the investment. As a side note. I ride a pedal bike and I am a dog walker but this work out I found to be just not for me and painful Hi, this fluidity bar is a beautiful piece of equipment.I ended up selling mine on Ebay.

There is an item that Amazon sells that states it is for a treadmill - but one of the photo's shows it being using on an incumbent bike SurfShelf Treadmill Desk: Laptop and iPad Holder

The stand is best used with the legs cause the legs prevent the stand from folding in the middle. Although I do use the stand laying flat without the use of the legs but I lay it flat on a hard surface, like the floor or a desk something that is smooth or level. If using your lap is the most comfortable way you use your laptop then you should get a lapdesk instead those don't usually fold, Amazon has a lot of those to buy and choose from.

I googled to see what a Tunturi bike looks like and some images showed a long curved handle, and some images showed what looked like to be a typical handlebar from a regular bike. If your exercise bike has a handlebar like a regular bicycle does, then I would think that the grips would work.If your exercise bike has the long curved handles, then I do not think it would fit. These grips would not be long enough (and perhaps not wide enough).One way to check would be to measure the outside diameter of your bar with that of a regular bicycle that you might have in your garage. If it's the same size, it should work.

For a laptop desk/support that's designed to use with a treadmill or exercise machine, do a google search for 'airdesk' - they have a model that can raise up your laptop to 60+ inches. Hope this helps!EDIT: Multitable has a treadmill version on their website as well- try searching for 'ModTable Treadmill Desk' for more info. Edit2: on further inspection, that has a treadmill built into it, so probably not what you are looking for.

It seems pretty easy to collapse. We are returning it though as the fixed wheel type just didn't meet our needs. It is hard to maneuver with the fixed wheel. The price is obviously cheaper, so we decided against a fixed wheel jogger at this time. I don't think I would recommend it for travel unless you are traveling and will do a lot of running to make it worth it.

Go to horizon's website and you'll have the pictures. I can tell you that it's not compact and it is heavy. I like because I am a big guy and this treadmill feels a lot like the Gym's treadmill. It doesn't shake or move around as I am exercising. If you are planning on moving the treadmill back and forth for storage, I'd recommend to look for another brand. If you something solid that will mainly stay in one place, look no further.

I would like to answer your question, but I have since moved on to a stationary bike and the weight really has come off. I find the bike has been more effective for me and I am thankful I get more out of my exercise time with the bike.
