Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike Review
The Schwinn 140 exercise bike is the higher end upright exercise bike in the Schwinn 2011 product line. The Schwinn 140 exercise bike offers all of the latest  exercise bike technology from Schwinn along with Schwinn quality and warranties. The Schwinn 140 is built well and has more features than the Schwinn 120 for slightly higher price (usually about $50)
The quiet magnetic ECB resistance (Eddy current brake) system, Multi-Color Backlit LCD, oversized seat and pedals, telemetry and contact heart rate monitors and compact size are just a few of the features that make this 2011 upright exercise bike an excellent choice at a great price
One of the features that I particularly like (and that is often overlooked) is that the Schwinn 140 is powered by an AC power adapter and not just by batteries. If you are going to be using your exercise bike enough to get some a real benefit from it, then the AC power supply is an important feature.
Note: As of 2/1/2012 the Schwinn 140 Upright is selling at for $349 new, with free shipping options. Go to
Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike for the latest price and reviews and comparisons. *
Upright exercise bikes, including the Schwinn 140, are more similar to traditional bikes, provide an excellent low impact, aerobic exercise and are more compact and cheaper than other home fitness equipment.
Schwinn 2011 Upright Exercise Bike Comparisons:
The Schwinn 140 Upright Bike has more options than the Schwinn 120 (the next model down in the Schwinn 2011 product line) and is a high quality, well built upright exercise bike.
I can easily recommend the Schwinn 140 for the price, quality and warranty.
Aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular health and circulation and exercise bikes provide a safe, low impact aerobic exercise that has been used for fitness, weight loss, health and physical therapy for years.
