I'm looking to purchase an indoor spin bike. Unfortunately, I know nothing about what brands or features to investigate! I am 5'0 so I'm also concerned with buying something that will adjust well to my size. Any advice would be great! =)
Answer
Some bicycle and sporting goods stores sell stationary (indoor) bicycles. You can also buy them online. Shop around carefully because there are important differences between a LeMond RevMaster, a Schwinn stationary bike, a Spinner (tm) bike, and a Keiser M3. Most stationary bikes do adjust to fit people between approximately 5' and 6'3".
Contact the manufacturers to see if they can refer you to a local fitness center that has their bikes. Then you can go test them. Otherwise, try to find them at a store and take a test ride. This is important because you don't want to be stuck with a bike you dislike or makes you uncomfortable!
See if you can get any free DVDs or training. Is there any support if the bike breaks or needs maintenance? How will you learn to set up the bike properly, to ride with proper form, to exercise safely and to train appropriately?
You can also buy a a trainer, a frame that holds a regular bicycle still while you ride it. These are readily available at bike and sports shops too. I would definitely visit a local bike shop to discuss options involving trainers.

Where can i buy a 20 inch bike with training wheels?

My son is autistic and has some muscular problems. He will be 11 soon and he wants to learn to ride a bike. He has a 16 inch bike but he is so tall he cant get comfortable on it. He has come a long way recently in his physical therapy and his therapist says a bike can help him build muscle on his legs. I bought a bike at walmart and a set of training wheels for a 20 inch bike but they weren't compatible with the bikes walmart sells. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
I can find training wheels. I need a bike that is 20 inches at least and has training wheels already on it or at least can have them put on. The rear axle on all the 20 inch bikes at walmart are too short to put the training wheels on.
Thank you for the input but, he has muscular problems as well so the training wheels are a must.

I highly recommend Mongoose Spin BMX Freestyle Bike (20-Inch Wheels)
great bike for 11yro boy. top of the line bike, reasonalbe price
All of my other son (12yro) friends from his school want to ride Dylan's new bike. The 6th graders want one just like this Mongoose. Easy to assemble and sturdy quality. My kids use their bikes on ramps and in the woods. This bike still looks brand new after a month of rough use. I recommend this bike for its cool looks, popular brank with the middle school crowd and can take rough use by the whole group of friends.
I bought it with free shipping from...
