Riding my Keiser stationary bike, I don't hold the handle bars &amp; sit upright peddling unicycle style. Will this work for sitting upright?

The question for you is, can you balance on your sit bones and peddle at the same time? If so, yes the Hobson is for you!

I guess it depends on what size bike you have. Mine is 700c and it is not very stable in the stand without also using the kick stand. For smaller bikes, you shouldn't have any trouble standing the bike in it for minor maintenance. But, I don't think it will work with you sitting on the bike.

I bought this skewer for my "Cycleops" stationary bike trainer to rest on the back wheel. It was more suitable than the one that originally came on the bike. A "Skewer" goes through the hub of your bicycle wheel and locks it on to your bike as you ride.

Unfortunately, this is not designed for stand up and pedal on it since upright bike. I tried but it wasn't comfortable at all. I would recommend cycling bike instead. Happy Cycling!!

It should if the tube that the seat slides into will hold it securely. Most exercise bikes have adjustable seats similar to bikes that are used outdoors. The seat angle can generally be adjusted to tilt more or less to keep the rider from sliding forward or backward while peddling. The other primary adjustment is the seat height, accomplished by sliding the seat post into the upright tube on the bike - standard stuff. There are only two possible issues to be aware of; 1) The seat post MUST be tight enough in the tube so that when the clamp at the top of the tube is tightened, the seat height will be maintained. If not, a good full service bike shop should be able to fit adapters to the post, tube, or both. It's not a big deal. 2) Due to the size of the seat, it works best when the extra support bars are used (actually one metal tube shaped like a long upside down 'U'). The seat comes with this U tube already attached to the seat. The bottoms of this bracket are normally attached to the rear axle of a street bike. Whether or not they can be attached to YOUR exercise bike remains to be seen. You might want to check whether the rear brackets of the seat will attach to your bike before ordering the seat because the brackets do make a big difference. Good luck. If it will work on your bike you'll love the seat.

A stationary bike will work if the fly-wheel is exposed and has a good texture to grab the shaft of the dynamo. It's designed for the rubber tire of the bicycle to work sort of like a gear against the textured plastic cap on the end of the shaft making it spin. If you can affix it to the stationary bike so that it is up against the spinning wheel and if the there is enough friction that it doesn't sleep it should work fine.

I sit upright. It's similar to any chair. Very comfortable- in fact I will sit on it even when not biking!

Try standing while straddling the bar, you do not want your privates to touch the bar.Seat height should be set so that when your at the bottom of the stroke, your leg is almost straight.Judging bike size when standing still on one foot and sitting on the seat is a mistake.

I can't exactly answer your question but I might be able to help you make your decision. This machine gives no resistance itself. only the muscles required to move your legs. It will create movement of the foot, ankle, knee and hip joints much easier than an exercise bike. The sitting position can be adjusted depending on what you sit on. So if a doctor said to lightly exercise the hips, this is a good bet.

Yes, sitting upright is a better position for this seat. However the two seat pads allow for more motion so it will be harder to balance without the help of handle bars.

The front of the bike has wheels that will roll so you would have to lift and guide the bike from the back. As far as what it's designed for, it's probably meant to stay in one place because it is kind of heavy to be moving around often....unless you want to incorporate that into your workout...

Stationary bikes have different types of seats, their are so many types...so I cant give a definite yes

No, at least on my seat. I added a Schwinn gel cushion to enhance comfort. Perhaps you are leaning too far forward so be sure to raise your handle bars and experiment with the seat height. I also ride with padded cycle shorts on occasion. Start with a sort of upright position and pedals only action then add the arm motion after you get your stride. I add it after 1.5 minutes. Lastly, experiment with different textured shorts or tights. Hope these help. The seat attachment on mine fits directly on the post unlike a regular bike seat with a tilt mechanism. You cannot simply buy a std bike seat to add the tilt mechanism as one reviewer opined. No, at least on my seat. I added a Schwinn gel cushion to enhance comfort.

Yes. The bike ships without the pedals installed so that's one less step! Just be aware that there is not the same amount of standover height as a balance bike, though.

I am not familiar with the Keiser bike seat, my gym has a few different units and this seat cover has fit them all. The fabric under the seat is adjustable. I can tell you the contour of this seat is the best for comfort I have found so far.

I'm not sure about that, I bought this one for my son and he's about 6 foot tall. If I were you I would ask at a bike shop. There is a safety issue with a unicycle, so that's a very good question to ask. Good luck!

No it does not move the peddles for you. It you can ride it without peddling. I love my bike so far.
