is it sturdy enough to pedal standing up?

Depends on how long you plan on using it. My weight is 128 lb, and I have been using the bike 2-3 times a week for just over 8 months. I pedal standing up as part of my routine. Everything worked fine until about a month ago. First a pedal broke -- the plastic cracked on both sides where the strap is attached to the pedal. Then the tension control, after getting tougher and tougher to tighten for a while, finally stopped working altogether.This is probably too much info. The point is it's a fine bike but it ages really fast.

Yes, it is. My weigth is 140 lbs aprox., and I feel it perfect. I don't know if it works the same with more weight. I think so. I like how you control the speed, it can be very soft and very hard too. I like it.

It's my Guess that it WILL stand up. It's very solid. Of course have another there to do a test weight load.

I think probably ok. See if ur Sports Authority has one on floor and try it out. SA has had them in stock. I have stood only briefly and it seems sturdy.

I think it is sturdy enough, but check to see if the bar will go high enough. We have it for fun, not for gymnastics practice.

Yes. I think so. It's not too high. It has nonslip rubber on top and on the feet and its very sturdy. also lightweight and easily moved around.

To use the iron standing up you would be standing on one foot while pressing pedal with other. Sitting on stool or chair is the way to go. I love mine. It is easy to use seated!

I weigh 200 lbs and have never tried to use it standing up. However, the pedal cranks and pedals are very sturdy and well made. I think that a woman who weighs 120 lbs or less would have no problem standing and pedaling. I would recommend you check with Schwinn to verify its load limit.

My VERY active 14 month old stands on top and shakes this like crazy and has never tipped it over. I'd say it sturdy enough!

Possibly. It is a good kickstand, but I wish I could slide it a little further back as my heel catches it from time to time. I wear a size 10 shoe and peddle with the ball of my foot on the pedal. If you wear a large size, you may catch it more.

This stand is very sturdy and the screws have knobs that are not too tiny. I returned it only because for me it took longer to set up than the ones with levers. But the stand is well-built. The screws are not tiny and have nice handles so it might not be worse than some stands with very tight levers. Good luck!

I would say yes, the stand is adjustable, and sturdy enough to be utilized at that height. I'm 5' 10" and use it standing as part of my stage rig.

The pedals are slanted, but the highest portion is around 22" high. I don't think you would have a problem.

Nope - this is pretty sturdy. I use it as a platform for paperwork next to the standup desk i bought that holds 2 mojitos & a keyboard.

Yes, this step stool is very sturdy. I feel very safe and confident to stand on it independently.

Yes the stand is sturdy, but if you give the bike a good push it may pop out of the stand and down goes the bike. Would not trust this stand with young children

Yes, it's high enough that you wouldn't have to bend over to push it, however, I would recommend the four wheel version instead. It turns much better than the three wheel version, I've had both.

Yes, the stand is extremely sturdy. I am very, very happy with mine, which I've had for over 4 years.
