So, just curious - where will you put it when you move? Most likely the living room and then wheel it to bedroom # 3 when we are entertaining / have guests over. We wanted to keep it in our second bedroom (currently) or bedroom # 3 (when we move) buy that would require buying another TV and I don't feel like spending that money. So we came to an agreement: - live it in the living room and use that TV - wheel it to a bedroom when we have people over.

Seriously, you have just purchased a dust collector. Not true - those handlebars are awesome for hanging clothing to dry, or even throwing half dirty clothes on, with the expectation of wearing them again before laundry day.

((I love how he says he will "wheel" it into the spare bedroom. There isn't a wheel anywhere on that "bike."))

You lift the back and wheel it forward or pull it behind you. Quite easy actually... So easy that my wife is the one that wheeled it from the dining room to the living room.

Ok ok , putting it together now. But I agree with thyme , it is one one big box... Would have been so much easier to move it like that. Not with your wife's foot up your ass. She is too short, her foot won't reach

Just how big a deal are you trying to claim it would be to move that little exercise bike?

I'd go ahead and put it together, but remind her come moving time that it was her idea to do so. Make her load that into the moving truck when the day comes. And your wife's a hottie, right? Why is she concerned about the windows? She ought to be working out in front of huge windows all the time, on purpose. Awwww.....Nancy is so cute thinking his DW is going to carry anything. I'll bet she gets her period no matter what day they move!

if I knew that having my period meant I didn't have to carry anything, I'd be using that excuse like there's no tomorrow!

Husband is 14 years older.

Good decision Cawaii. I've moved exercise equipment and believe it's easier to move when it's out of the box. Plus, since there are wheels, you can wheel it out the door and just carry it down steps. Putting it together was a win, win.

Moving the bike (be it in a box or put together) would not be an issue for me because I would do the non-YM approved thing and hire people to move EVERYTHING anyway.

I hope she likes it, Carl! Some of those Spinning program dvds are really good for at home. I liek the Crank It Up - Interval Zone and the Spin & Slim Express (30 mins) for when you want something a little shorter. The "Rides" series are just riding along a road and are as boring as all hell to me and I would not recommend them. Having an instructor led dvd is a much better workout.
But don't ever buy fitness equipment new again! I have a good spin bike, a treadmill and a great weight bench with a rack and pull down bar all in my basement for about $350. Craigslist is your friend for exercise equipment because so many people buy stuff and don't use it.

So, just curious - where will you put it when you move? Most likely the living room and then wheel it to bedroom # 3 when we are entertaining / have guests over. We wanted to keep it in our second bedroom (currently) or bedroom # 3 (when we move) buy that would require buying another TV and I don't feel like spending that money. So we came to an agreement: - live it in the living room and use that TV - wheel it to a bedroom when we have people over. We also live in a 3/1 rancher with no basement and I have almost the exact same indoor bike. I also keep it in the living room and just move it for when special company comes. It does get used every day though, and I figure if the people we know well think that is the weirdest thing about us it would be a miracle. I will say I thought the seat was horribly uncomfortable so I went out and bought a gel seat. Best $25 bucks ever!

...:::"She wants to start using it and I don't see the rush; she can wait 2 months. She has been using our gym in the complex and hates it because instead of walls they have this floor to ceiling glass/window and everyone coming in or going out the building can see you working out.":::...
And from how you've described her, I bet some people came in and out quite a few times in the course of that workout.
I know its done now. Let me know if she enjoys it. I hear it is fantastic exercise.
