Side by Side Comparison of: SuperMats vs Sunny Health & Fitness vs Sunny Health & Fitness

We bought this mat as a base for our at-home spin bike and it's held up fabulously. It's a nice thickness and a solid appearing material. 3 months in and it still looks brand new. Doesn't hurt that it's extremely easy to clean (the texture is minimal enough for cleaning purposes, but definitely enough to be useful)

Funny story, I ordered this mat from my couch in MN. It shipped from the west coast, but the company is actually in town. Small world!Mat is made of quality material, without any kind of weird rubber smell. Thick enough to protect carpet from cardio equipment and doesn't take up an obscene amount of space. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

This is a great mat. The mat is durable, and cleans easily. It's textured, which I wasn't expecting, but actually prefer. The texture helps the equipment stay-put, as well as makes it better when I use it for myself. It works well for an exercise bike, as well as for doing cardio. I also do T25/Insanity using this mat, and highly recommend it for both! It has the right amount of give, without being to soft. Good choice.

Bought this to go under a bike and bike trainer for indoor workouts. The thickness of the mat is perfect, and it even reduces some of the sound the trainer makes. It is easy to clean and also easy to store away if needed.

Great product that's exactly what it says it is. And unlike other PVC mats I've used, there is almost zero smell - and it seems very durable. Another mat I purchased for twice the price (not from amazon) tore almost immediately when I positioned my workout bench on it - and has stankified my workout room with a PVC chemical scent for over a week now. The size of this one was absolutely perfect for my elliptical, as well. Highly recommend it.

The Supermat Heavy Duty is an excellent mat which I use for aerobic exercise, stepping, and to do push ups on, etc. The mat has a nice feel to it, is thick, giving good shock absorption, and is non-slip.This was a great buy for the price. I am glad to have this mat.

I spent a lot of time researching the available indoor bikes and decided to focus on the mid-upper low end of the price range. I decided to go with belt drive rather than chain for quietness and lower maintenance. Based on my experience with the Sunny model SF-B1002 I am very happy with the belt drive decision. It is absolutely silent. I learned that flywheel weight was important relative to smoothness and real bike like feel. The SF-B1002 49 pound flywheel has that extra 25% weight worth the small cost. In addition the subject model resistance/brake system of leather press down was definitely preferable over the clamp alternative. The reviews convinced me the SF-B1002 was structurally very solid and my experience is it is solid as a rock. I am over 200 pounds and spin hard and there is just no frame flexing or movement.For my use I needed to add some useful live visible performance information. I attached a POLAR V650 bike computer with cadence and speed sensors. I get real time heart rate, cadence, distance, calories and exercise duration time attached to a POLAR handlebar mount. Even better I can display on my PC a data output for each completed exercise using the POLAR Flow software. As the exercises I do are HIIT Spin routines all based on interval times, timed hard spin and rest, I needed a Interval Training Round Timer. I tried a basic GYMBOSS model but switched to a Everlast Interval Timer which has a very loud timer alarm.The Sunny SF-B1002 was shipped via FedEx. It was well packed and the box arrived with no sign of mishandling. It is very heavy, 130 pounds, and managing it by myself I had to unpack the box and move the pre-assembled basic bike by itself to the room where it would live. Then I could move all the sub-pieces together on a hand cart. Assembly was pretty easy and the instructions are well written. Mounting the POLAR distance and cadence sensors is a little tricky as the physical structure is different than a bicycle which the sensors were designed for attachment. Using double sided tape for the sensors and stacked(3 or so) Neodymium Magnets (1.26" x 1/16" ) to fill in the spaces. peddle crank and belt cover to wheel. I found the seat to be a little painful for my butt so I replaced it with a "Bikeroo" men's saddle. Eventually I will replace the peddles with Mountain Bike clips on one side to fit my shoes/cleats and toe brackets on the other side of the peddle for normal shoes.So my net opinion of the Sunny SF-B1002 indoor bike is very positive. I am 100% happy with my purchase decision and am very comfortable recommending others to purchase it. I enjoy it every day and based on a couple of weeks experience can't offer any cons for consideration. Florida Bob

If you've had the BANGING issue with this bike, skip to the end for notes on my fix***********************************Initially I had looked at buying the Peloton bike because of their really great app but ultimately decided it was not worth the investment considering spinning was completely new to me. My intention was to use this bike in conjunction with the Peloton app ($12/mo). So far I am very satisfied with my purchase.Delivery - I paid just under $300 for the bike which included shipping. Which is really unbelievable in and of itself. I'm not sure how the UPS guy even got it up the stairs to our landing because the box weighed over 120 pounds. This bike is *very* sturdy. My first concern was that for $300 you would get a rickety piece of garbage. Not the case. Peloton charges $250 just for shipping.Assembly - honestly, the actual assembly part took about ten minutes. But it took 10 minutes to get the box into the basement, 15 minutes to unpack the box and unwrap all the parts and another 5 to sort of gather everything together. There are very few actual pieces, like I said, the bike is very sturdy when put together."Add ons" / changes - I made a few minor additions to the bike to improve the use.1 - Added a pair of Shimano SPD pedals ($35). These are fantastic pedals, I *highly* recommend them and they work great on this bike. Took only a few minutes to swap out. So far zero issues with the pedals. Please not if you have never used clip-in pedals before, you will need bike shoes with SPD cleats on them to use.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZMDK5C2 - Simple ipad holder for the handlebars ($20). I have a beat up, cracked-up old ipad4 that I planned to use on the bike and this clip works perfectly.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5YTO5K3 - Bike mat ($30) - perfect size, seems to work great so far. Its a mat, nothing fancy.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001THTUAO4 - Wireless computer from spinning.com ($65) - I tried two of the Cateye models and just did not like how small they were and one I could not get to work with the spin bike. The spinning.com computers are made to work with their brand spin bikes but seems to work great with this model. Look I am not an engineer, I'm not going to guarantee that these are insanely accurate and are really only made for their brand bikes - but its worked fine so far. I was most interested in something that was wireless, would display time/cadence at the same time and that was easy to read.So I spent $150 or so on other options and am completely happy right now with my setup.***Notes on use with the Peloton app*** - As I said, I bought this bike specifically to use with the Peloton app. I am very impressed with the app so far. They have dozens of live classes every day or thousands of on demand ones. The app has a pretty simple filter that allows you to search/sort by class type, time, instructor etc. I wish there were a couple of minor tweaks - like letting you save your favorite rides into some kind of favorites menu - but so far I am very happy. The ipad version of the app is $12/month whereas if you have the Peleton bike they charge you $40/month. Even at that price, IMO, its worth it since I have been using it every day. Spin studios in the DC area can run upwards of $175-200/month for unlimited rides.***Notes on FIXES or things that might break*** - As has been noted in other reviews there seem to be a couple of quality control issues, both of which I ran into.1 - Squeaky resistance pad - Definitely happened to me over the first week. I used it every day and it seemed to get worse. I bought a $7 can of liquid graphite spray off Amazon and I gave it a few shots, it cleared right up. I could see just giving it a shot every couple weeks. Nothing major here, very easy fix.2 - That BANGING or knocking on every peddle stroke. - If you've had it, you know what I'm talking about. It sounds like the bike is broken and goes BANG BANG BANG on each peddle stroke. I emailed the company and they sent me a PDF with pictures about making some adjustments to the belt with the two adjustment screws on the front. I spent @ 20 minutes screwing around with it and eventually it did stop. It was a pain in the neck and very annoying to have to deal with but it did finally stop.- Take the belt cover off - screws on the two sides and bottom- take the big side nuts off from the fork- adjust the screws I circled in yellow. Experimentation and patience required!Look, this bike cost $300 shipped. For that price, I had a reasonable expectation that the bike would not be perfect and would probably need some adjustments. If I wanted to buy the $2000 bike with $250 shipping charge, I would certainly have expected a higher level of quality. But for the cost I am very happy with my purchase.

Fantastic! Don't let the weight of this item discourage you from purchasing it. This cycles has a small footprint, taking up a very small area of about 20" wide and 50" long. The front/top facing wheels make this super easy to move. The wheel, weighing in at 49 lbs, actually helps make moving this super easy. Since the weight is in the front, tilting it forward using the handle bars and the small skate style wheels make it easy to move. I keep mine next to the couch so I can watch TV, or for me I use my TV as a computer monitor and I can read while I ride. I purchased a wider seat, as I sort of need it right now. An injury has slowed me down and my bum has paid the price. Anyhow, the frame is strong and sturdy. The seat is adjustable forward/backward and up/down. The belt makes this super quite, but as noted needed a tiny bit of silicone spray on the friction pad at the wheel to quiet it down. It make a slight rubbing sound which is normal. The handlebars are heavy, hard, sort of rubber coated and multi angled for plenty of positions to hold. Personally I need to find something to pad the bars a bit, but that's not big deal. The only drawback I can note is that the handle bars are adjustable up and down, but I wish I could angle them up a little.I chose this bike due to very high ratings on many cycling websites and although I am new to this I have to agree this is a great buy.

This is a great option for in-home spinning. I love spin class but was having difficulty making it to the gym for the limited class schedule. This bike is perfect along with free YouTube videos that I use for class in my home. I did purchase pedals that have clips for $10 on Amazon Commuter Road Bike Pedal Reversible Dual Sided Clipless Shimano SPD / Platform Pedals and installed them instead of the ones that come with the bike. I also put a gel cover on the seat ($9 at Wal-mart). Anyone who has taken a spin class knows how bad the seats are, cycle shorts Canari Gel Liner Cycling Short Womens(Black with Pink trim.)SM with padding built in work too.I like the fact that it is a belt vs. chain, it is very quite. The water bottle holder is a plus as well. It doesn't have a digital read out but the other reviews talk about how to add one. I don't find it necessary since I know the basic output from years of spin class.It is very HEAVY so make sure you have help to get it to its final resting place. My husband and I almost killed ourselves getting it up a flight of stairs. It was very simple to put together though, it didn't take more than 15 minutes.Huge fan of this bike!

I have had the bike for about a week now and I really love it. The setup was easy it took about 30min and all the tools I needed were there. At first it squeaked when I started to ride it but reading online I found that I could buy some Silicon based spray on the brake pad and that fixed it. The spray I used was Liquid Wrench Silicone Spray. I really wanted a bike computer for this so I purchased CatEye Strada Wireless Bicycle Computer (Black) CC-RD300W along with the bike. Adding that on took like 10min. I am going to upload some pictures here. I used double sided tape to attache the sensor to the bike and I used magnetic tape to raise the little magnet sensor on the wheel high enough to get a reading. But you could use double sided tape there too. I also switched my magnet out for another one I had just laying around so I didnt have to clip the threaded end off the one in the box.

I just got the bike on Friday and used it twice over the weekend so this isn't a long-term review but my initial impression is highly favorable. I am a "serious" cyclist, which is not to say I'm a professional or anything like that but I log a lot of miles on my road bike and use high-end equipment. I've always hated hooking a bike up to an indoor trainer and I've avoided that type of training for many years. I finally went in on a spinning bike and I am very impressed with the results.I chose this model mostly because it had the heaviest flywheel (produces a smoother pedaling experience) and it uses a belt to drive the wheel instead of a chain (quieter). It was easy to put the bike together and I'm always happy nowadays when things actually fit and work. I skipped the cheap seat and pedals that it came with and instead installed my own Look-style clipless pedals and a Specialized saddle. The saddle adjustment worked well-enough as it went up and down and you can move the saddle fore and aft on its rails to get the right fit. Unfortunately the handlebars only have an up and down adjustment (no fore or aft) but I'm pleased enough with my fit on the bike.My primary complaint about indoor trainers was that they always felt unstable, especially when out of the saddle. This bike is rock solid and includes adjustable feet to make sure it sits perfectly level. My second complaint about indoor trainers is that they simply couldn't achieve a gear hard enough to truly simulate climbing an actual hill on your bike. This bike, however, has more than enough tension to simulate even the hardest hills yet retains its smooth pedal motion. I am truly surprised and impressed.My only complaint is a picky one. The tension knob is a continuously turning adjustment. Turn right to tighten the tension (and make it harder to pedal), turn left to ease off and make it easier. It's the way all spinning bikes work, I suppose. With this method, however, there's no way to "Index" or "bookmark" a location so you know you returned to the same point each time you ride. In other words, you turned the dial to make it hard to pedal one day but there's no way to know that you turned to the same spot when you did the same workout the next day. Like I said, that's awfully picky but it is the one check mark I would put in the column for an indoor trainer.On the whole, this is a well-made, good-looking bike for a terrific price. it should suit your needs regardless of whether you're a serious cyclist or just an exercise enthusiast.

It works well, but it starts flaking after a while. So every time I roll it up I have to vacuum because I don't want my toddler stepping on all the black flakes that come off of it.

This mat is a flexible, soft, rubbery like material. My purpose for this mat was to keep my recliner base from cutting into my carpeting. I folded this mat in half and placed it underneath my recliner. It's keeping my recliner base from cutting into the carpeting and the recliner does not slip due to the soft non-slip surface. I like it.

Love it. Just got new hardwood floors and I didn't want the treadmill to move around and scratch the floor. This is the perfect so far. My only suggestion would be to make the mat about a foot longer. The treadmill only barely fits on it......or maybe make it available in different lengths Otherwise, great product!

There's nothing necessarily special about this mat, but it works perfectly for my needs. I bought this to go under my new elliptical machine - it seems to be sturdy enough to help prevent the machine from rocking. Since I put the machine in my living room, I didn't want a giant mat, and this one is just the right size - not a lot of overhanging mat around the edges of the machine. The mat is thick and sturdy and I was a little concerned at first that the edges didn't want to lay flat (it was rolled when shipped) but after laying out on the floor for a few days, it settled down and is now perfectly flat. I really don't have any complaints!

Some reviewers called the material "hard" and "thin". "Thin" was accurate, "hard" is not. They're soft and thin. I suppose if you placed these mats on a cement floor, you might be tempted to call them hard, but I think it'd be more accurate to say "being so thin, they don't provide much cushioning".I didn't buy them for the cushioning. I bought them because they sounded durable (and they seem to be so far), and because they're made out of PVC. The PVC part was important to me because my plan was to glue two of them together using PVC cement (the kind plumbers use). It worked! I glued two together in the sort of "T" shape required for my Bowflex Blaze. I'm happy with the result.

I chose this mat for my indoor Kinetic Road Machine indoor trainer mostly because it didn't cost $65 plus. The mat does exactly what it should... it keeps my trainer in place and protects most of my floor. The mat isn't quite as wide as I would like but the rubber feet of the trainer are the only parts that extend off of the mat. Also, there are puncture marks on the mat from where I stepped on it with my cycling cleats but that was my own fault. Definitely an affordable piece of training equipment!

This bike is a good value for the money. Watch the price though, as what they charge varies quite a bit. I waited a while to purchase it and saw the price go up $100 and now, as I write this review, it is $40 less than what I bought it for. Maybe they discount it later in the year until the holidays and then jack it up for Christmas and January-February timeframe when we're buying stuff like this.It is sturdy and good to ride with the heavy flywheel, especially once I got it adjusted. I plan to change the pedals one of these days, but for now, the straps will have to suffice. It is a good workout.

I've had the bike for a few days and for the most part I LOVE it. Very sturdy and I haven't had any banging issues or complaints about the tension like other reviewers. The left pedal was difficult to screw in and I'm still not confident that it's in there properly. And YES I know it screws in counter clockwise. You can't miss it in the instructions and tag that came on the pedal. It just blatantly doesn't want to fit in there. Also, I feel that this bike was made for someone just a little taller than me. I'm 5'5" and I have the seat and handlebars all way up and I'm still seated too far away.Finally.... this bike is heavy. That's a good thing but as a single woman who lives alone it was difficult getting it in the house and upstairs. Be prepared to have help or pay for the assembly.Overall I highly recommend this bike so far.

I eagerly awaited my bike as soon as I clicked that button to purchase it. I waited with baited breath for 2 whole days... gotta love Prime!! When that UPS truck pulled up to the curb I did a little happy dance.... told the driver to wheel that bad boy into the garage and waited for my husband to come home to put it together. When he finally got home and opened the box ... wait for it.... it was smashed :( Talk about a let down. The box must have gotten smashed during shipping - Thanks UPS!!! Amazon was awesome. I've never ordered anything this big but the return/exchange process was super easy and fast.Now for the bike - I've used it for a week straight and think its sturdy and well built. Great looking piece of equipment too! I use the Peloton App on my iPhone and absolutely love it. I feel comfortable getting crazy on the bike. I did take a star away because the seat is pretty uncomfortable AND that's with a gel seat cover over it! I will look into changing the seat.All in all great purchase and highly recommend.

My first impression is that this appears to be a sturdy bike. Good weight to it that should alleviate the wobbles while peddling. Super easy to put together although a 2nd person may be needed to help move /position the bike until the feet with wheels are put on. Bike was packaged well with styro-foam and several wood blocks to keep bike from damage during transit. Bit of advice when unpacking. With box in the proper upright position carefully use box cutter to cut around box at he bottom. Lift the box off the packaged bike. This allows easy access to the bike and parts without hassle.So far the only negative I found is the bike seat. Not very comfortable on the butt. Could use a little more cushioning. I hope I can find an upgrade that will fit the seat stem so I can replace it.Hopefully my first impression of the bike's sturdiness will hold up after continued use over the next few months. I will try to follow up with an update regarding it's quality. Until then I'm rating a 4 until I use for a while.

This bike is a great combination of value and features. It is very heavy, smooth riding, and fairly comfortable.After deciding to bring my bad weather riding indoors, I wanted a bike that simulated road riding. After shopping bikes in the range of $1,000-$2,000, I decided to just try out an inexpensive bike to see if this type of riding would work at all for me.The primary features on this bike that match much higher priced bikes are the heavy flywheel, belt drive, and sturdy frame. For these, I would rate it 5 stars.However, there are a couple of irritations that cost Sunny Health a star. One, the handlebars are one setting short of what a 6 footer might need to be comfortable. If you are an experienced cyclist, you will be able to set the seat-to-pedal distance properly, but if you are more than 5' 10" (or so) the handlebar might be too low. I have it set at "STOP," and I am still leaning forward enough to place too much weight on my hands. While I have minimized the problem with handlebar padding to raise the level, it would be much better to have one higher setting on the bike handlebars.Two, is the lack of any electronic assistance, either by including or offering as accessories. There is another version of a Sunny Bike that includes an LCD panel for riding data. I would have gladly paid extra for an accessory that would connect to the bike.One other nuisance might affect people who share the bike. The adjustments are not quick, requiring complete removal of the knobs and replacement in a hole in the column, both for the seat and handlebars. If, like me, you are a lone rider, it is a very sturdy setup that will not slip in use. So 1 star up or 1 star down...depending. The friction adjustment is very easy to use and quickly changes the resistance by a leather pad, which is also very quiet.All said, I have been riding for several weeks and can say that this bike is very smooth and very quiet. To avoid boredom, I have placed a computer monitor equipped with a Roku Stick on the handlebars, which are shaped to make it an easy addition. I can view ride videos or TV programming easily.I would buy a Sunny Bike again, but perhaps a different model.

My wife and I purchased this bike 10 months ago.We were looking for a non-expensive bike to exercise 3 or 4 times a week. Mainly during the winter.Pros- Adjustable saddle. You can adjust the saddle higher or lower. The cool thing is that you can also adjust it closer/further to the handlebar. - Thanks to the notation/marks, I can easily revert the seat back to my position after my wife used the bike. - No tool needed, you have a handle that you need to pull to unlock it.- The handlebar is adjustable too.- There is a support to hold your flask/bottle for the long journey. If your bottle is too big, don’t be afraid to pull to make it wider.- Very comfortable and doesn’t feel or look cheap.- The design is nice; this doesn’t look ugly in the apartment.- The wheels at the front allow driving the bike from one spot to another.Cons- Per mentioned in multiple reviews when we bought it; there is a strident noise as soon as you start biking. This noise appeared a couple of months after we bought the bike. I honestly don’t care - I listen to music or watch a movie. People around may not think the same, though. It seems that the small piece of leather (or other - see my picture) rubbing against the wheel (to regulate the tension) is the reason behind that noise (centering it or giving it a nudge seems to fix this noise temporarily' … for a couple of minutes).- The screw maintaining the handlebar tends to get loose/unscrew. I screw it tight on regular basis “just in case” (well I am a bit paranoid with screws getting loose anyway).- The tension isn't responsive. You will need to get used to turning the knob generously (forgot to mention this but updated thanks to the comment below).We also purchased a rug (Supermats Heavy Duty P.V.C. Mat for Cardio- Fitness Products (2.5-Feet x 5-Feet)), this fits perfectly underneath.I would recommend this bike despite the noise (It makes me feel nostalgic of my old rusty bike when I was a kid).

ok

I'm giving this product 3 stars because for something that's calling itself "heavy duty" it's very thin and can be easily ripped and/or broken.

It protects my floor from the exercise equipment. No complaints.

Quality varies between sizes. This mat is not as dense or smooth as the larger size I had ordered about a year ago. Overall, will get the job done.

Would be better if we had a hard floor surface instead of thick carpeting. Otherwise they are very good for what they are.

While this seemed to be a sturdy mat, and maybe it is, for weight lifting and yoga. But if you are planning to do cross training and Cardio then the mat will scrape and leave a lot of small black dots. It wears out fast. The mat also moves if you are doing a lot of cardio and fast movements exercises. I still use it but looking for something more fit for heavy cardio workouts.

Easy assembly. So far it operates smoothly, but its noisy. The belt is quiet, but the resistance pad is noisy. I tested a Sunny Health and Fitness bike that had a felt pad over the resistance brake and it was very quiet. Much quieter than this one. There is no felt over this pad. It is more like the material found on traditional bike brake pads. I don't know why it's different than the ones with the felt. Maybe there are some benefits. But it is noisy.

Despite some damage to the plastic housing, it is a great indoor cycle for the price. The heavy flywheel provides a smooth ride and the bike feels very sturdy even when standing. The seat is a bit hard like most bikes but you could always buy a different seat or wear some bike shorts. The quality control could use some work but I did get for under $300.I only just recently obtained the bike but it is already making the thumping noise with each pedal stroke that some other people are getting. I will update this review once I attempt to fix it.

I bought this bike last year when I had to stop running because of a bum knee. I had seen the spin cycle classes on TV and thought that I give it a try at home, since sweating and breathing heavily in public isn't appealing to me. Anyway, this bike looked to be sturdy and affordable for my budget. I've been fairly happy with it. I don't use it all the time (I switch between walking on the treadmill, using the reclining bike, doing yoga and pilates, etc.) and I haven't had any problems with it.When I ride, the bike is very sturdy and quiet. I can stand on it and it is very stable. (I'm 5' 5" tall and hover around 125 pounds.) I find the adjustments on the seat and handlebars to make it comfortable for me. I had my husband help me set it up, since it comes in a box, disassembled.The only thing I don't like is the dial that is used to create the tension. It doesn't have specific settings, so I never really know what I'm riding at. I don't feel like I have consistency with the workout this way. When I ride along with the videos I watch, they all seem to be able to move up and down a specific number of levels, but I can't do that, so I'm always guessing.There also aren't any devices to track distance, time, calories or anything like that, which I guess is a trade-off for the cheap price. Also, I found a way to tighten my iPad to the handlebars with a headband because there isn't a holder for electronics, another drawback, I guess.If I had more money, I'd buy something with the bells and whistles, but as far as the bike is concerned for exercising, it works for me.Also, the bike seat is incredibly hard and painful! I replaced mine with a gel seat for comfort, an added expense.

Not sure if it's the bike quality or the fact that I have wood floors but when I cycle and move TOO much, it feels really unstable. The front moves from side to side like it's not screwed in right (but it's at it's tightest). I have wood floors so maybe the floor aren't even, but I bought a heavy duty mat to put the bike on, and that hasn't made it better. So, my guess is, the bike is just not good enough to handle the same type of choreography you can do on a more expensive bike that you would find at a studio.

Well first off I received the package in the worst condition I have ever received any delivery, the box was broken, the bike frame was bent, dented, scratches, and scuffed. They did not include the hardware bag with necessary screws and Allen key, so I had to go to Home Depot to buy them.The bike itself is great, quiet, efficient, nice looking, very adjustable, works well for me (5'7 140 pounds) and my wife (5'4" 125). The seat is incredibly uncomfortable, but I'm sure I can get a gel slip cover. I like the bike a lot, but the condition of it upon delivery and missing hardware has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Been using the bike for about a month now. As a man, I don't use the straps on the pedal because they won't fit a man so I use the other side of the pedal. The pedal straps are only large enough for a woman. The seat is horrible, so I replaced with a Cloud-9 cruiser seat. This bike is not made for shorter people, i.e. less than 5'4" and doesn't have enough adjustments for other people. I added a Cateye Velo 9 bike computer (used velcro to attach) so I would have some stats during the work-out. Overall, well-built bike but has some things that manufacturer needs to address.

I would have left 5 stars....I ordered three of these, all the same size. I really need three IDENTICAL mats. Two of them were the size I ordered...one was WAY smaller. I actually need a total of 9 mats, but ordered three bc they were needed immediately and I wanted to see the quality. I still need six more mats, but I won't plan to order from Supermats again since they sent me one really small mat. I would have rather just had the two and not paid for the third mat (same price) that was so small. I had to make it work anyway, but I'm really unhappy they charged me for 3 mats of the correct size but sent one itty bitty one.

not stiff enough to distribute bike foot force very much at all. Quite spongy feeling; in fact.

The mat provides good cushion but the PVC smell is overwhelming. Aired it out for a few days, but the smell still lingers.

Thinner than expected and has a bad smell. Hoping it dissipates or I will have to return it.

Very bad product. It says it's sturdy. But the built quality was like a cheap kitchen mat we get from WalMart. Waste of money.

This mat looked good at first, but after about 2 weeks it developed a 3 inch long tear at one edge. It's very soft and not very tough. Two of the corners have been chewed off by a curious cat, who now leaves it alone. She left little black plastic "pebbles" all around the mat from her chewing. I wouldn't recommend this because it's so easily ripped. It was also nearly impossible for me to move the exercise bike once I had it on the mat. The mat seemed to hug the bike, which makes it hard to clean around if you want to move something.

We love the way the bike rides- it is still rideable. But the box that it came in was busted with a big hole in it resulting in a part on the side of the bike being broke and unsightly, which everyone notices. I wrote an email back to the company and they never responded.

Bike seems sturdy for the price. However, the friction pad is completely unreliable. It jerks constantly and is not consistent. If I make a tiny adjustment but then go back, it's as if I turned the knob a whole turn. Applying some or no pressure while making adjustments makes no difference. I also notice that if I peddle faster without an adjustment, it will seem to let go of the wheel and less friction will be applied. This issue makes the bike completely unreliable for a workout. I have had the bike for two days.

Loved this bike for a few months, then the left toe cage broke off. Sunny replaced it and sent one for the right side as well. A few months later, the belt shredded and fell off. While waiting for a response as to whether Sunny will replace the belt, we have ordered another bike-a different brand found in gyms. After getting only 6 months use for $350, I cannot recommend the Sunny Health & Fitness Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike.

I purchased this bike after looking at many bikes over a period of time. The majority of the reviews have been positive so that is mainly why I bought it along with the decent price and the heavy flywheel. The bike arrived in a box that was pretty torn. The Styrofoam around the bike was mostly in pieces. I was somewhat concerned but hoped for the best.The bike is very heavy. My husband helped me carry the main frame upstairs. I was able to put the bike together fairly easily. Once I got to the part where you insert the handlebar I had an issue. The 'bushing' that had been there before was pushed down in the handlebar stem and was broken. I had to contact Sunny and get a replacement piece. I had to wait several days to get it. It was difficult to pull the broken piece out as it was stuck in there with something sticky but finally got it out with a pair of pliers. Once I got the new bushing inserted the rest of the assembly was fairly easy. My husband had to tighten the seat since it was very hard to get it tight enough without it rocking. BTW, I purchased this gel pad seat Zacro Gel Bike Seat - BS031 Extra Soft Gel Bicycle Seat - Bike Saddle Cushion with Water&Dust Resistant Cover (Black) . I knew with the pricing of this bike that the seat would be lousy so if you buy this bike then either replace the entire seat or get a good gel pad seat.I have ridden the bike several times. The ride is smooth for the most part. However, I have had periodic'knocking' as some other reviewers have noted. You can feel it under the left pedal on my bike. It's not with every ride and it only seems to happen while standing during the ride. Unless it becomes persistent I will likely not address this until it becomes an ongoing problem.I would not say that this bike has the same sturdiness as the bikes at my gym. We have Techno-gym bikes and this bike isn't in the same class. However, for a home bike with only one or two riders this bike should work okay. I will give it 2 stars for now based on the issues I had with the bike and since I don't know if the knocking will become a problem. It was extremely disappointing to pay this much money and have the bike arrive broken. I will update this review after I have had the bike for awhile and see how reliable it really is.Pros:Heavy FlywheelPriceCons:Quality control issuesSeat

Started making a clicking noise about the fourth day...contacted the manufacture and they said someone would contact me within 24 hours...that was 24 days ago. It works but the noise is irritating. I just use for exercise...I would not recommend it for anyone training seriously. Get a Schwinn

Poor packaging, should have heeded the reviews . The plastic shield at pedals broken in pieces. I asked for a part to fix it, simple piece of plastic held in by a few screws. Made me return the whole thing. Difficult repacking because impossible to keep styrofoam and all cardboard intact . Warning!!! Unpack outside and don't destroy packaging opening it up... I'll try once more try , hoping it comes unbroken!!!!

Mat ripped on the corner when being picked up after owning it only 2 months.Not sure if it's heavy duty material.

This is definitely not worth the money. I bought this product exactly 3 months and 7days ago and it is already breaking apart. I use it only for working out. One type of workout I use it for consists on putting my bike roller on it and start biking (see pictures). When I use it like this, the bike roller does not move - it is a static workout. So there is not a extreme stress or strain on the mat by the roller. Another way I use it is to do abs in which case, I simply lay it on the ground and I lay on top of it and do the abs workouts. These are literally the only two ways I use this mat. So to be advertised as a heavy Duty product is unfair with the buyers. I have never gotten it soaking wet, only a few dozens drops of sweat sometimes but never more than that. It is not like I bought it to use it in the kitchen of a restaurant where the actual heavy duty mats are exposed to all types of materials (water, oil, grease, etc) and strains.Therefore, I decided to take the time to write a solid review and let people know that this is not a product worth buying from this company. You will be wasting your money. I do not know what company to recommend for this types of products because this is the first time I buy something like this. If you appreciate my review and know of a good company to buy mats from, I would appreciate if you post it here. Thanks in advance.

Comes apart in small pieces from the edges but great cushion.

Not sure none of my equipment leaves mark SC on floors, but a pain to return..

Ours had a chunk out if the corner... the material was pretty thin and not very strong. Reminded me of a yoga mat.

We have one of those Tony Little gazelles and less than a month of 30 minute sessions, there was a hole in it. We are just glad we noticed before it ruined our hardwood floors.

Is anyone else as frustrated as I am with this bike? Only used it once and now it makes a horrible very loud banging noise. The banging is so loud I can hear it over my music. Took it apart because another customer had listed a fix for this problem. Tried working on it for 2 hours and still as bad as before. All I want to do is get my spinning workout and all I got is frustration and aggravation. I'll now need to find and pay for someone to come out and service this new bike that shouldn't need any service. Don't waste your money with this company

Very disappointed with this bike. I though it was a quiet bike but not at all, the brake make a lot of noise it is really annoying. I wish I could return it but it's too complicated and too heavy..

I love the bike, it is solid; however, the belt is slipping after 3 weeks and there is no maintenance documentation nor have I found anything on the internet to fix this problem. Since I am sure this has happened before, the company has failed to provide support of their product.

So this bike seems sturdy and functions really well for the price. But! When you put on few hours on (say about 15-20 hours), the bike starts to produce a metal clanking noise on each rotation. I tried using silicone spray and even interacted with the customer correspondence team of the seller but could not fix it. I was worried that if the noise won't go away even after 30-day return policy then it is an exercise in futility so I chose to return it. By the way, the exercise the customer interaction team wants you to go through require some maneuvering so if you are not adept at tools etc, don't even think about this bike. The bike itself seems nice and has some desirable features but the metal noise coming out hub area is really annoying and gives impression that there is something seriously wrong with the workmanship of this product.I would recommend not buying this or any such product on Amazon as the shipping such big product is an monumental hassle. Get it from Walmart or Target with their maintenance plans which fix the bike along with replacing a bad product without you paying for the shipping.

This bike is a piece of junk. I have had it 6 months and it is already broken. First it started making a grating sound. Because the flywheel is grinding into the plastic cover and now the belt won't stay on. I have repaired twice and the fix doesn't last for more than a few minutes. Don't waste your money.

This bike was horrible. Two weeks after I purchased the bike the area around the flywheel started making a knocking noise that continued as long as you were pedaling it. I tried lubricating the area around the axel, but knocking continued and never got better. While exercising the knocking was so loud. I had to take it back. I see so many reviews just like mine, and these bikes are being sold like this. SUNNY FIX THE PROBLEM OR ELSE STOP SELLING IT.
