| I've been researching this because it seems to be the closest thing to what I need and can afford. I unearthed some common problems, though. I need the opinion of someone who uses theirs for around an hour a day, fairly intensely. I've been told that there is a squeak after a couple weeks' use, I've been told it beeps all the time, I've been told it shakes when you go too fast. I'm certainly not paying even $5 for something that does any of those things. I'm hoping there's SOMEONE here who's used this model for a long time and can tell me more about these concerns. Or, if someone has a different exercise bike that seems very sturdy and well-built. My current one is about 4 1/2 years old and the parts are grinding and squeaking and it's generally falling apart.

I have a Schwinn bike, which I did use to use for an hour a day for a long time.
I will say that the seat was not attached very well, and did swivel in all directions a bit too much, and it did it early. However, I was about 350 when I started on it, so that was probably my fault. 
Apart from that, I have no complaints, and my model is a 130 upright. Good bike.
