Anyone who has ever been to a spin class will feel right at home. This could pose an issue if there’s a mechanical problem later down the line, but it’s probably best to leave this kind of thing to the professionals and either contact the store you bought the unit from or drop Schwinn a message.

During the 1980’s, Mr. Schwinn enjoyed a reputation as an outgoing executive capable of visionary thinking. He was hailed as an early adopter of computer-aided design and Schwinn became a leader in the exercise machine wave by acquiring and developing the Airdyne line. China Bicycle’s entry in the American market came with its purchase of the Diamond Back name and distribution network in 1990, a move Schwinn was powerless to stop even though it owned 33 percent of the Chinese company.
