    My office won't give anyone a stand up desk unless they require it due to medical reasons. We are also not allowed to use stability balls as chairs for safety reasons. I had one of the bicycle ones for under my desk or watching tv at home. I don't remember the brand, but it always just slid away on me. More of a pain then anything.

    Was it used on carpet on a smoother surface? I have also read that this happens to others.

    It was on carpet, both at home and in the office.

    Meh, I had one...take it or leave it...you wanted advice, and I gave it. That's my experience. Every time I see one of your posts I can't help but think you're one of those people that just wants to hear what they want to hear. You should just start your threads off that way.


    You're a lovely little fella now, aren't you? Perhaps the next time you see my posts, you should just keep on movin'. I am absolutely not one of "those" people who wants to hear what I want to hear. I'm one of those people who has noticed that nobody can ask a question on this forum and just get a straight answer to the question that they asked. There is always extra advice with a nice layer of judgement on top.

    I asked for thoughts from those who have used these machines and ended up with your response about how this machine can't replace "true" exercise (ya think?).

    As a parting gift I'll just point out that never in your response did you mention that you, personally, had tried one of these machines.

    "Most people I know who've used them do so for a short time...and then they just sit there in the corner of their cubicle or office." <--- This implies that you did not use this machine, but you have known others who have, and they have not cared for them.


    Meh...I think my response was pretty straight forward and factual. I wasn't aware that I had to directly tell you I had one for my opinion to matter. Whatever...go blow $150...in fact, I'll sell you mine and give you free shipping.




    You can leave now, thanks.
    Welcome, enjoy...

    I have one of those pedal things that can go under a desk. I had to remove the keyboard tray in order to use it, and I still bump my knees a bit (and I'm only 5'4"). I actually don't use it much because it makes it harder to type. If you do get one, make sure you get some oil to lube it up because they squeak.

    I guess I should also say that my desk is a pretty large desk. My boss ordered the most fabulous office furniture available from the supplier when he outfitted everyone's office. Lol.

    Do you have the bicycle one or a stair stepper one? I am tall and don't have a lot of room between my legs and the underside of the desk, but I have thought about raising the desk (books) if I can find a stepper to work for me.

    I have the bicycle one.
