Exercise bike for under desk

[Gonnagetgoing]

what does everyone think of exercise bikes for under desk?

I'm a typical sedentary person and have stopped going to the gym (just do walks and park yoga now). I never liked the gym much anyway.

Not heard of this, so is it something you can pedal while sat working? I’m thinking of a desk treadmill.

Following as I’ve been considering this. If anyone has one do their knees bang the desk

It looks like it. You can buy desks with treadmills combined but I already have a work desk!

According to some reviews for the nicer ones, apparently no as you pedal but not on a bike if that makes sense?

@Gonnagetgoing I am practising now under my desk with my imaginary bike pedals and I think they would have to be quite a small area of motion for me not to bang my knees on the underneath of my desk

I'll try to find the good one I found and see the reviews.

Don't bother, I bought one and used it twice. I kept banging my knees on the desk, so had to sit to the side which defeated the object.

Far better to look at a standing desk option - I have a lifting stand, but again rarely use it despite 19 months WFH.....

Avoid. My MIL had one when she became increasingly frail. It was rubbish - the momentum of cycling makes the wretched thing move forward, so it moves away from your feet unless it's directly under you e.g. under a dining chair.
