Does anyone have a fitdesk (bike) I might be able to try?

I tend to use home exercise equipment, and I just want to see how comfortable this is to know if it is worth buying. I write, and I have looooong hours spent on the sofa or a chair with my laptop. I'd like to see if this is really an option.

Thanks!

Nobody answered this. But mine is coming today, so if anyone has interest, I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm talking to myself here, but I love this bike! I've put 200 miles on it since the I got it on weekend. 3+ hours a day of working on it. My knees are getting used to it. It's great, passive exercise

Not talking to yourself! I've had one in the corner after my brother raved about it and rarely use it. Maybe I'll give it a spin tonight...you've inspired me!

orzabelle, can you tell me what kind you got? Was it the one named Fit Desk?

Yep - V2, under $300 on Amazon

My new toy arrived last week too. It is a FluidStance balance board. It may not burn as many calories as the FitDesk but it is small and it helps with alignment, balance and posture. It also provides some serious core strengthening through all the micro-adjustments your muscles have to do while standing.

I use a stand up desk and this board 6 hours a day. Love it.
