Spinner® Sport Spin Bike (Indoor Cycle) Review
Spinner® Sport, the original design for home spinning bikes, has proven to be an excellent design for indoor cycling, serious indoor training and workouts and the Spinner® Sport Bike, by the manufacturer Spinner, is a good low cost choice for this type of exercise bike. 
One of the big advantages that you get with this particular spin bike, that you do not usually with other spinning bikes in this price range, get are the spinning DVDs that are included with the bike.
Indoor cycles or spinning bikes, such as the Spinner® Sport by Spinner, are upright exercise bikes that are mostly mechanical, use friction based resistance mechanisms and provide easy access to unlimited resistance levels.
Note: As of 8/1/2011 the Spinner® Sport Indoor Cycle, by Spinner, is sold out (was selling at for $499 at Wal-mart, with FREE shipping options). See the Proform 290SPX for a better spin bike at a lower cost.
I had a chance to test the Spinner® Sport recently and this is a solid, no frills exercise bike that can be easily adjusted to any level of workout. As with most indoor cycles, you simply adjust the resistance level with a simple turn of the resistance knob above the wheel.
This exercise bike is completely mechanical. There are no electronics for resistance and there is no console to monitor your workouts (speed, time, calories burned, heart rate, etc.). This keeps the design very straight forward and keeps maintenance requirements down but if you are looking for an exercise bike with a console, you will need to select another model.
Upright exercise bikes, including the Spinner® Sport Indoor Cycle are more similar to traditional bikes, provide an excellent low impact, aerobic exercise and are more compact and cheaper than other home fitness equipment.
About-Bicycles Review:
The Spinner® Sport Spinning Bike is an excellent low cost indoor cycle that comes with a great set of spinning DVDs. This bike is all mechanical so If you prefer an indoor cycle with a console (and can afford the extra cost) we would suggest the Livstrong LS9.9IC.
Although we were not able to find much information on the manufacturer "Spinner" and their warranty is not very good, the online customer reviews of this product suggest this is a very good quality exercise bike.
