I wished, despite advancing age to 70 years, keep a gentle fitness, easy, tailored to my various medical problems. I do not see myself in the gym nétant not really motivated for it, too many constraints, not seeking "performance" at all costs but "Lentretien" of my condition at my own pace, so why not do it by staying simply home. I walk a lot at the expense of car that I use only for current obligations. Hesitating for now resume my dextérieur bike, i opted for the latter allowing me to stay home and den do whenever I want, regularly and freely, with real pleasure. My previous rather archaic dating back many years, with all the difficulties of the times and not the current modernism, men being separated for a long time, so I was happy to receive this beautiful bike dappartement yesterday. After controlling parts, I started to ride it myself. The explanations are very clear, of use the equipment provided, apart from the 2 batteries that it will often change I believe, following the use frequent or choose to remove them during a prolonged absence, so it was easy for me but I admit a little long having joints with painful hands to grip properly. Immediately fact, once the first test, first coasting to put me in a condition, then step by step i studied the possibilities of operation of the bicycle. First point: layant prepared normal height, straddle the frame was a little difficult because the setting is high enough, but not a major concern or worry what sen because once in the saddle, although my feet touch the ground. I am not arrived to put the straps to the pedals, nothing serious for now because my tennis adheres perfectly to start the first proposed forces. I am far from being the power 8! Second point: understand how "computer", no worries. Third point: delighted to pedal gradually, at my own pace, smoothly and in a very comfortable seat with a bonus folder perfectly suited to the lower back, where pain is common in daily life. The position is perfect because I stay straight and not arched at the risk of not being able to enjoy. Fourthly: this bike is very quiet, although quavoir read reports to the contrary. Gradually I felt my joints "rust", my muscles "at work", well then be born. This lasted for a first time in two stages, first 30 minutes, then after laying jen redid 10 not fatigue but because he was already getting late. We do not see the time passing ... Fifth point: The manual advocates rightly dailleurs, to get in physical condition before use it, I think made at the bike wash installation! Then when she advises of the judgment, to remain vigilant in order to avoid any dizziness, weakness in the legs from the work of muscles and joints. For that I have a few moments sitting with feet on the floor, back against the backrest, hands on the bottom of wide handlebars, very relaxing and relaxing position, I want to clarify. Same concern to leave cycling, although quite high frame adjusting the height of the bike is perfect, is a bit annoying especially when lon feels the work done in the legs. But again, nothing major. Sixth point: the bike is quite heavy, at least in my case, is folded very easily, lift it ... but much less. Also I left behind so lai den again today. Provide a mat underneath so as not to leave marks on the carpet, otherwise it is very stable. I can assure quun felt muscle, joint, heart, respiratory, among others, is notorious even after 50 minutes. Some benefit. However dintérieur this bike is primarily a personal pleasure, a daily fitness, good preparation before resuming dextérieur bike on sunny days, enjoying nature during walks, indoor limited landscape and power cycling still in cold or rainy weather, but in no case it eliminates medical checks among specialists and regularly. The 5 stars are the proof of the height of the frame, the heavy bike when dealing storing, and unfortunate absence of 2 small batteries just for the principle !! But as a whole it is very powerful, efficient, helpful, pleasant, attractive due to its modern look at "design" none. I do not regret my purchase.

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. No changes on all of my previous comment dating to early May
However after a few days of use, a little sound like "clap, clap," as an internal friction on the plastic engine and at each turn left pedal, not very definable really became apparent . Curiously it occurs after 10 minutes, and it regularly or irregularly. I can not say that it is loud, the latter being dull, nagging is annoying especially fearing damage or break something dinterne in the bearing. It is no fault of making the "speed" or other performance I pedal my pace to the power 3 so far, having started with the first then the second.
This weekend I made for 1 hour in the morning, any little noise during the first 10 minutes, the silence, always power 3, then gradually it came back and the faint sound throughout my session, checking if it also produced in the 2 lower powers and even a small boost in power 4, alas same conclusion.
During the afternoon, I have redone for 2 hours 20 minutes, quietly, in my sometimes pedaling pace changing power, although sitting on the saddle, the lower back against the backrest again total silence, no small "clap, clap," always during these fateful first 10 minutes, then it was then completely inconsistent with a total irregularity, sometimes without "clap", sometimes with "clap", sometimes nothing for a while unfortunately not for a long time. Totally ignoring what is happening inside and fearing damaging parts and operation, I contacted customer service who very kindly mexpliqua any possibilities for this bike that I like however much for all notified the reasons in my comment above, except this "clap" undetected during my first test. Jen am also really sorry. The adviser gave me his name, looked at me a telephone call from him tomorrow Thursday scheduled time, to see if it had reproduced and that he was following my call.
I just saw this bike David Douillet, recently purchased discounted to 139 99 is passed over the same month 159 99. I do not find it normal especially when there is a concern well before the 30 days. If I need her to return in order to receive the same, it was the price I bought it.
I wanted to make this correction to my previous comment, but confirmed that he is not a "hellish noise" as I've read it, but a thud, plastic, the word "clap, clap," indefinable but existing is the cheapest, without disturbing anyone this close to me during my usual formatting rather disturbing quautre thing, especially as the explanation is found in my case
