thus. yesterday between 1:30 P and 4:30, nextdoor neighbour and I took 40 pcs of metal and plastic - > and created a recumbent bike.
Ordered from Walmart, shipped From LA [ at least, I suspect the Far East too ] and struggled thru a delay to arrive here .

the 100 # puzzle arrived on Wed and sat for two days - looming in the front hall

one review stated that ' my niece and her husband spent 4 1 / 2 h putting the bike together '

the recumbent bike is advertised as half elliptical / half bike.
since I own an elliptical, I would say not really.
close but no cigar

I am sore in the legs [ and elsewhere ] sitting on the floor became necessary which entailed getting up, too ! 
there were some fiddly bits. and there is a chance some noise could develop b/c a few diagrams were less than illuminating when it came to washers [ and where these washers actually belong ]

We shall see said the Zen Master

well, if you own an elliptical !  ????  M .. used a recumbent bike at Rehab and found it comfortable. Very little balance is needed and back strain is minimal. as well, the recumbent is supposedly much easier on the knees etc
thus, I will consider incorporating the recumby into my workout program
warm up etc
