“The price is right.” So says the game show and so it is with this Best Buy exercise bike. The real difference in the Schwinn 220p (the recumbent model of the 220 series) is in the details, but details so often make the difference. For instance, little things such as the Wide Ride pedals with straps that can so easily accommodate every member of the family and keep any foot in place no matter the speed are what make this bike exceptional. The 220p is designed with an low-profile step-over body, making it easier to board and unboard. Simply tilt the bike forward and it rolls wherever you need it on large transport wheels in the front. Of course, there are also features common to many other bikes, most more expensive. The 220p has an onboard computer with five pre-program indicators, a belt drive, and magnetic resistance friction-free operation. Finally, the few of us old enough to remember the ad slogan, “It’s a Schwinn,” will also appreciate the name behind this Best Buy.
