I'm looking to invest in a bike/treadmill or potentially something else for cardio with my WFH extended through 2021.

I've been looking at getting a Sunny Health & Fitness Indoor Cycling Bike, ($300-400 range) but curious if others have opinions on these. Not looking to spend a ton of money, cap of what I'd spend is $700.

I've had a couple sunny health and fitness bikes. They're fine for the money. Think I spent 250 or 300 on each. I also have a treadmill i paid 400ish for.. all of those have worked for years without issue. If you're doing basic cardio on them they can handle it.. you dont need to spend 1k on anything. I even abused the shit out of my treadmill doing 5+ miles a day and ended up jamming bricks under the front for incline cuz that did crap out. But that was after probably 3 years of use several times a week

If you care to wait for them to be back in stock look up a rogue echo bike. They're built like they belong in fort Knox and will give you 10x the workout in 1/10th the time

I dont know where you are but right now biggest issue may be if supplier has what you are wanting in stock

I have a Sunny in my home gym. They're nothing special, no fancy new frills or technology, but they do get the job done for the money.
One thing I will say is that the pull adjustment on the handles came broken, but it was an easy enough fix that I didn't even bother getting in touch with their customer support. Like I said, very simple design.

I bought a stationary bicycle back in November and it has been great so far, use it for about 2 hours/day to maintain fitness
Would really like to get a stair climber in roughly the same price point of what youre looking for ($400-700)
If anyone has any ideas i'll certainly track this thread

We just ordered a Peloton last night, hoping it lives up to the hype.

Found a $100 off coupon online, and they are running a 0% interest deal right now.

So $50 a month until I pay it off in July.

Bike, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 sets of their nice earbuds, and 2 heart rate monitors.

It gets delivered 4/7
