What exercise bike for an old lady?

[Polkasquare]

What indoor exercise bike would you recommend for an old lady? Needs to have a fairly upright cycling position and a comfy seat!

Anyone?

How old's old?

Well I don’t know how old you are but I’m 65 which is ancient to some and not old at all to others. I’ve got a second hand one which cost £50. It’s fine DH uses it as well. I’d say try some out in a shop if you’re buying new. You can always look on line for a cheaper deal once you’ve found one that’s suits you. Even if buying second hand, try local gumtree, you can still ask to try it out before you buy.

You can also buy padded cycling shorts for added comfort.

I also know 2 people 70+ who have just a small pedal thing they use in their living room while watching tv.

I agree, something like this would be best. Hopefully the photo shows. Then she can use it with the seat of her choice.

Bought one recently for my 80 something Dad got a recumbent one with a proper seat
