Hey everyone, I am currently looking for a recumbent exercise bike. I don't want to spend over $250 or so. I have found several but they are for people that are 5'4" or taller. I am 5'2" on a good day. I have a longer torso than my legs. Does anyone know of one that is for shorter people. I found one but it was almost $500. I can go a little above my price but not a lot. I would consider a treadmill or something different but I am overweight plus have back problems from years ago so walking too long is incredibly painful. I have always done well with recumbent bikes at the gym but I now live 30 minutes away from a gym so that's not possible either. Help if you know please. Thanks

    Hey
    Going through the discussions on "short people" as I'm 4'10"!
    We have a recumbent bike at home. It's a Schwinn that we got because my husband swore he was going to use it...
    I have to put the seat adjustment even farther up that the holes allow and just tighten it down and then I have a small pillow that I put behind my lower back!
    Did you ever end up getting one?
