Well, today the snow flew over Lake Winnebago. Which means winter is here. Me and the dog do not go out unless it is absolutely necessary. And there are times I have to pitch her outside to go "potty" She likes sleeping on the couch on my heating pad or on my bed under the covers.

Before this is all over she will be needing WLS
Anyway I want to get a recumbent bike any suggestions?? Anyone know where to get a used one??

Hi, I would check out Craigslist for a bike.  Or even freestuff.com.

Good luck.

A couple of years ago my husband and I bought a recumbent stationary bike.  It is great for exercise when it is cold and snowy or rainy.  We love it!  It is a Schwinn.  Try looking for a used one on ebay...

I bought my recumbent bike at Sears, it was a floor model so it was marked down from $500ish to $169. Some of the cheaper models I found were very uncomfortable.

Whether you get a used one or a new one be sure you can test drive it.  I bought mine new at Sears.  I sat on it and rode it to be sure I could adjust it for me.  I was going to a health club and I never could ride their recumbent bikes.  They didn't fit my body.  The angle of my knees just didn't feel right.  After 10 minutes I could no longer stay on without back pain and knee pain.  I can ride mine for hours.  If it isn't comfortable and you can't ride it then no price is low enough.

thanks all,
I pretty much decided to buy it new. Going to stick to sears or Wally world.
Tomorrow night I will check out Sears they are also doing layaway again so I can pay it out of a couple of pay checks. Just wish they would put it together.
