Confess it's been collecting dust past couple years cause life got busy.
Kitty- great move getting to "move"! Exercise improves entire body.

EddieF, this has been the best purchase I have ever made. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks so far and I'm up to 18 minutes @ 8 mph 3 times a day. I feel like I could do 9 or 10 mph but don't want to push it too fast too soon. My arms and legs are already sore but I'm just going to push through it. I'm adding 3 minutes each day to each workout I do.

I feel SO much better with regular exercise. I used to go to the gym with my late husband and walk on the treadmill for 2 hours at a time.....nonstop. I miss that so much. But this bike works both your upper and lower body at the same time and I can really feel it today.

They also make a Theracycle 100 that wheelchair users can use. All their products get good reviews. Theracycle 1 - Leg Exercise Equipment | Theracycle

Happy exercising!
