If your bike has toe cages and you prefer them, consider wearing stiff-soled athletic shoes versus your bounciest trainer, since a stiffer sole will offer more support while you’re in the pedals. In our testing, the magnetic resistance adjusted smoothly and was fairly responsive.

Even though the bike does not provide metrics, there’s nothing keeping you from pedaling along to a video class. More-experienced riders can follow an instructor’s leg speed schwinn tricycle and adjust the… Continue reading Ignaz & Frank Schwinn Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame

A technician was able to quickly fix the problem with a set of new pedals (the company’s troubleshooting advice didn’t work in our case). For greater specificity, we wish the cadence (rpm) showed… Continue reading Ignaz & Frank Schwinn Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame

The frame is aluminum, and it is designed to stay very agile and help the rider with harsh off-road terrain while being robust and lightweight. Schwinn Traxion is an absolute beast, and this bike has some excellent capabilities. Unlike the other bikes above, this is a full-suspension mountain bike and not only has front forks… Continue reading Ignaz & Frank Schwinn Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame
