So what exactly is indoor cycling?

First and foremost indoor cycling is a great way to get fit and to stay in shape. An indoor cycle enables you to enjoy cycling in the comfort of your own home or in a group environment at the gym. Indoor cycling isn't for the faint-hearted - it's a tough workout but you'll get fit quickly and build up a good level of stamina.

Our Review of the Kettler Giro S Indoor Cycle

This week we thought you might like to see our review of the Kettler Giro S Indoor Cycle available at Indoor Cycles.

How Easy is the Indoor Cycle to Build?
It's pretty straightforward to build this indoor cycle - the console was a bit fiddly to fit but once done it's worth it because the wires are hidden and it looks like an integral part of the bike.

What are the first impressions?
The quality of the construction; paintwork and features are very good. It looks like a really good bike that has been well designed (from a German manufacturer, would you expect anything less?)

What's it like to ride?
It has belt drive so is very quiet, and it also has a free wheel feature. This means that you can just stop pedalling, like on an outdoor bike, rather than using the emergency stop. It's a really useful feature, especially if you're new to spinning or are looking for a bike with more traditional exercise bike features.

Any niggles?
It would have been nice to have had cycling SPD pedals rather than the standard baskets, but at this price it's hardly a major issue

Anything else to add?
It's just a good all round exercise bike and is ideal if you're wanting a good bike on a budget. Remember that it has a 3 year warranty - really good at this price point

Overall Impression?
If you're looking for an entry level indoor cycle/exercise bike then this could be the model for you. It has everything that you'll need and a bit more besides.
