Horizon RC30 Recumbent Exercise Bike In Stock and Available Online

Posted on by

I just visited the Johnson Fitness facility just outside of Madison Wisconsin on Tuesday and was fortunate enough to review many of their Livestrong, Horizon and AFG exercise bikes in addition to having a product specialist in this area demonstrate and review these bikes with me and to point out the various features of each of the exercise bikes.

Horizon RC30 Recumbent Exercise Bike

Horizon RC30 in stock

I spent quite a bit of time there and have learned a great deal about their current models and the new models that are about to be introduced.  I don’t want to get into all of the details here because my goal for this blog post is to report that the Horizon RC30 Exercise Bike is once again available online (This popular model has been out of stock (online) for months now).

I will be getting into more detail on the trip that I described above in new blog posts very soon because I have so much information to pass on but for now, if you were looking into this model but were disappointed to find that it was out of stock, that issue has just been resolved!

Let me just say that this particular exercise is very high quality (as are most of the Johnson Fitness products) and this manufacturer is very committed to customer satisfaction.

For more information on this Recumbent Exercise Bike see the Horizon RC-30 Recumbent Exercise Bike Review.

Good Bike Accessory Sale at Performance (but not everything)

Posted on by

I was at our local Performance Bike store yesterday and saw that they were having a sale. When I was working on this site and checking prices online, I also saw that the Performance Bike website has huge banners about the sale that is going on now (thru Sunday 6/26) also.  

I always try to find out when the higher end bikes for sale on this site are on sale at Performance, so I checked the prices some of our bikes and found that they were still the same.

So my point here is that there is a good sale going on at Performance Bike right now, but it is not on everything (as the banner says, since most of the bikes are not on sale). There are quite a few Bike Accessories on sale at Performance right now though.

See the Performance Bike links on our Bike Accessories page for more info and to check out this sale.

Note: The Performance Bike site slows down a little, due to all of the additional website traffic when they have  one of these sales, so be patient…

Elliptical Bike Reviews

Posted on by

We now have a whole new and exciting category of bikes available thanks to a need and some good old fashioned yankee ingenuity!  Elliptigo’s Outdoor Elliptical Bikes are now being manufacured and sold online and at selected retail outlets.

Elliptigo Elliptical Bicycles

These machines can truely be called “bikes” or “bicycles” (they have 2 wheels and are self propelled) but they are really quite different than just about any other bike that has come before them. Elliptical Bikes use the same design as indoor Elliptical Trainers but the pedals are attached to the bike crank, chain, gears and wheel of a bicycle to allow you to get an excellent aerobic Elliptical Trainer/ Running style of workout – outdoors!

I had an opportunity to ride and review the Elliptigo Elliptical Bikes recently and have just posted a couple of reviews on these new machines. See the Elliptigo 8C Review and Elliptigo 3C review for the details.

Overall, these bikes are very easy to ride and provide an excellent, low impact, runner style workout. These bikes are especially well suited for cross training but I can see how some people may even like this kind of bike just for the excitement of trying something completely new and different and/or for casual trips around town. 

I was very impressed with the Elliptigo Elliptical Bikes and I think that we will be starting to see a lot more of these around very soon!
