Lifecycle 5500 HR:
Essentially the seven-year-old 5500 souped up with a heart-rate
monitor, the 5500 HR still outperforms many slicker models. A
chain-driven alternator means you don't have to plug the thing in.
While not exactly sleek, it gets the job done: Extended handlebars
allow you to pop out of the saddle and pedal standing up ? important
both for relief and to work slightly different muscles. And about that
saddle: The Lifecycle 5500 HR comes with the usual wide, squarish seat
that seems de rigueur on such machines, but happily, you can install a
real bike saddle in its place ? a feature not to be underestimated. In
addition to heart rate, the electronic console displays distance
traveled, elapsed time, calories burned, rpm, and effort level.
