I'm looking for anyone that's rocking some budget recumbent exercise bikes at home, and what they recommend/don't recommend.

I used to have one from canadian tire that was just a cheap $160 bike. It worked pretty good but sitting on it for more than 45 minutes made my ass go numb.

I'm looking to replace my lawn chair that i use for gaming/tv, so it'd be nice if the seat was comfy enough to sit in for extended periods of time. I used to game and bike at the same time, but could only get thru about 2 games of nhl before I had to stop and switch to the couch.

Anyway, any recommendations are appreciated.

Try and find a lightly used one on Kijiji. I found a 1 year old, $2,900 Johnson commercial recumbent for $400 and it looked like it had never been used. Had the receipt showing the original purchase price.

I wasn't overly impressed with quality of buying a new, inexpensive recumbent as they felt quite wobbly.
