Bought these for indoor cycling class and they are great. The only drawback for indoor is that the clips are tucked in and a little harder to clip in, but a little wiggling and it's fine. Also, I am a 7.5 and I would say they run a little small. They are fine for me, but next time I might get a size up. Overall a great shoe!

The sambas fit great! They're light and comfortable which helps in indoor soccer. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to do indoor soccer but doesn't want to spend too much.

This is a good, sturdy bike. It's not the best of the best, but it is worth it for the price. The bike came in a box, partially assembled but it was very easy to put it together and the package came with excellent instructions. It took me about 30 minutes from start to finish to get the bike ready for use. I have been using this bike for a few months now and am really enjoying it It is SO EASY to fold up and move out of the way so it isn't always taking up a lot of space in my apartment. It also runs very quietly compared to other bikes that I have used, which my roommates greatly appreciate. I generally use the bike early in the morning before school or during the day if I'm watching a tv program. I can watch TV at a level only slightly louder than normal because the bike runs so quietly. There are 8 different resistance levels on the bike and it is easy to switch from level to level by moving the dial to where you want it. This is a great bike for someone who is looking to add something extra into their exercise routine but doesn't have a ton of extra room. I fit mine into a closet in the living room when I'm not using it. I'm enjoying this bike so far and would recommend it to others!

I've been a spin instructor for seven years and this bike is fantastic for at home use.  It's basic but I would compare the weight and sturdiness of it to a more expensive gym bike. I am 5'4" and weigh about 125 but it also accommodates my husband who is 6'2" and 220. My husband put it together easily.  It rolls smoothly so its easy to move around and isn't so big that it takes up too much room.  I've even easily moved it outside. It doesn't have the console for RPM or watts but most gyms aren't buying the extra frills for their new bikes anyway.  In my experience, the consoles don't last long.  The cages for your feet aren't that easy to adjust and sometimes the wheel makes a loud squeak sound when you add resistance, but for the price, you can't beat this bike. I also took the advice of another customer's review and downloaded the Peloton app.  I don't have an ipad to watch the rides but my iphone works fine.  I post it on a tripod using an iphone tripod adapter that I purchased on Amazon and use my Bose wireless speaker and it's like I'm in spin class. I'm very happy with this bike for how solid it is for the price.

Perfect for beginners.
I've been riding for 50+ years, but find this the right challenge for beginning indoor cycling.
Eventually, you'll move on - but this video contains the fundamentals of turning yourself into a sweat hog in 30 minutes.
Good teacher - good motivator, very clear on expectations.
You will greatly benefit, if you:
- are honest with your estimations of exertion,
- try to follow the instructors cadence (usually along with the music)
- occasionally use a mirror to check your posture and technique
 - sit down if you have to, but get back up ASAP
If you routinely get back on the road for real riding each spring, I think you'll be surprised how prepared you are!

I was looking for inexpensive shoes to wear to spin class because I wasn't getting the workout I thought I was with regular tennis shoes. So glad I bought these! They will last a long time because I only wear them inside. I took them to my local cycle shop and had them to put the cleats on them for $24. Well worth it. I ordered a size 41 because I wear an 8.5. Hope this helps.

Both master distance runners, we are fair weather cyclists. However, the buzz from indoor Cyclefit classes has always interested us in getting a trainer for home use.  We kept putting it off because we were not convinced a trainer could replicate the workout we got on our fitness bikes.  Two weeks ago, research led me to order the CycleOps Fluid Trainer  from another vendor (who threw in a training video).  A day later, I had a a close encounter with a crack in the sidewalk during an eight miler.  Two days into a RICE regimen to heal a sprained tendon, this arrived and my sweet husband put it together in no time at all.  His bike was way too tall for me, so we put my Softride up - perfect - quiet - and my leg loved the therapy.

However, we quickly discovered the front wheel needed support so we rigged up two bricks  which was okay for the first ride, but not great, so good old Amazon Prime had the stackable climbing block here only two days later.  The real rides Race day DVD training was terrific to get started.  Not a mass start rider, it was fun to follow along with the racers and certainly a great workout.  The climbing block is essential - it allows out of the seat, big gear hill climbing, and offers a degree of stability at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a high end indoor cycle.

Only one week and four good rides later, I am back running on the roads, withOUT pain, and fired up to continue the "road regimen" of trainer cycling until the warmer temps arrive.  Cycle Ops ROCKS!

I'm a spin instructor so I needed to invest in some real cycling shoes. I'm pleased with these shoes because they suit my feet well and I can spin much better in them compared to cross trainers. The shoe sizes are off for US buyers since they go by european sizes. I'm 5'3'' and I wear a size 8 in most shoes, I ordered a size 40 and they work perfectly with enough wiggle room to stretch my arches out during recovery and there is no rubbing or tightness that bothers me. My only issue right now is that the tongue of them is really stiff and pokes the front of my ankles when I'm walking around before class so I tend not to wear them unless I'm getting on the bike right away. They are good quality, come with the nut to screw the bolts of your SPD clips in and have held up really well so far.

I just started a cycling class and these are a great way to avoid being in pain at the end of the class. I love cycling classes but the pain from the bike seat sucked so these are great to wear to make sure that you just have fun and not worry about how bad your butt hurts.

Great cycling trainer I tried cheaper ones and one expensive one and this fluid trainer great for the price. No need to get of the trainer to change resistance just change gears. Only bad thing is you will need to buy a riser block.

These are great for my water aerobics class.  I get a lot of compliments on the colors.  My only complaint would be that I wish they came in a heavier weight.

These clips were the perfect match for my indoor cycle (spin class) shoes. Easy to install, just make sure you have an Allen wrench to tighten. I even took my shoes to a professional bike shop for proper tightening. I highly suggest doing the same. Perfect buy!!!!

It only loses the star because the setup makes me feel like it is just going to fall off my bike.  It is held on with zip ties.  It has stayed on my bike for two years now and is still working.  From looking at the data it seems pretty accurate as long as you know your wheel size.  It is definitely useful for training indoors, because while I am not necessarily concerned with the actual pace, cadence is very important.  The first time I used it inside I did feel a little slow, but I have gotten to see improvement with it since then too.

As a beginner to intermediate rider this bike for the price....is great! I'm a college student and don't have $800 to $1,200 to drop on a nice "true entry level bike.". The fact that it only has 14 speeds and has some out of date components, in all honesty for $350 I'm not going to complain. This bike is great for the price, lightweight and handles just as well as more expensive road bikes.

My only complaint are the pedals, I HATE THEM! But I will be switching them out soon for some clip less pedals.  Also the bike was missing some screws and bolts but I took it to my local bike shop to have it put together and they fixed that no problem.

Have only put about 10 miles on it so far since I just got it back today, but as I've said I am happy with this bike and look forward to riding with some groups at my local bike shop.

As I put more miles on it I will comment on any issues.

These are a great tight for the price point. I'm 5' 9" 175 lbs, and I find them about an inch longer than I'd prefer, but otherwise no complaints. Great padding in the crotch, and good sweat wicking properties. I wear mine for indoor cycling, so your milage may vary if you're an outdoor cyclist. I also wear them to yoga in a pinch!

I use these for indoor cycling at about 10 different spin studios including SoulCycle, CycleHouse, Flywheel, etc. and they work everywhere I go.  They twist side to side when I'm clipped in more than the studio shoes I've borrowed/rented from the spin studios I frequent but I wonder if that may be due to the cleats I purchased and/or how I installed them (myself!) than any defect with the shoes themselves.  I suspect the former.  To save me the standard $2 - $3 rental fee and have my own pair of "clean" dry spin shoes every time I go to a spin studio this is soooo worth the price and I'm very pleased with this product.
