I was in San Diego for the Health and Fitness Convention called IHRSA. There were two score stationary bike trainers on exhibit. The designs and resistance mechanisms haven’t changed in decades. Most try to differentiate themselves by some aesthetic tweaks and variations on the cycle computers to integrate.
The best looking cycle was the Keiser M3. It also had the best resistance control system that was integrated into the cycle computer.
But the innovation award goes to Real Ryder. Like all the bikes it is stationary, but the Real Ryder is hinged so that it can float side-to-side. This innovation makes for a more realistic riding sensation that also improves balance by taxing the riders’ core. I rode it, like I rode most other trainers. The Real Ryder didn’t have the cycle computer bells and whistles and wasn’t as sleek looking as the Keiser M3 . However, the Real Ryder is hands down the best stationary bike trainer on the market. Click on their link and watch the video, it will “rock” you word. Their website isn’t all that useful, but it is great marketing piece.
Bike is Good will share with you good products that promote the goodness of cycling. The people in this booth were great.
