I didn't think I'd fall this much in love with an exercise bike. Seriously, I just said exercise bike, one of the most tedious cardio torture chambers in your gym. But this one is different.
The Lamar Airforce is strangely fun. Really. Here's what makes it so cool.
The thing is built like a tank. I found it on Craigslist for just $100, but you may be able to find one new for cheap while they last. The company went out of business I believe—too bad, because they made one hell of a product. They also made a recumbent version which is way easier to mount, but it doesn't have an arm component. Both are highly recommended!
The Lamar Airforce is strangely fun. Really. Here's what makes it so cool.
- Works both your upper body and lower body either at the same time or separately. If your legs are gassed, just work your arms. Far more fun than a UBE (that arm spinny thing).
- Has a back rest, which makes it safer to both relax on the bike when you need to rest and makes it easier to mount and dismount.
- The pedals are standard size, so you can swap out for clip-in bike pedals and wear bike shoes. (The similar Schwinn does not.)
- The big fan is great for cooling down an overheated MS body. The faster you go, the more A/C you get!
