Stationary bicycle

Exercise bicycles are typically manufactured using a crankshaft and bottom bracket, which turns a flywheel by means of a belt or chain.

A variety of indoor mini-cycles, sometimes referred to as exercise pedallers, have emerged as portable, low-cost substitutes for traditional stationary bicycles.

[4] They are useful when exercisers are unable to access their stationary bicycles from their homes or local gyms when travels or at work.

[7] Exercise bikes are frequently used in cardiac rehabilitation programs to help individuals recover from heart-related conditions or surgeries.

The controlled and adjustable nature of stationary biking makes it an ideal choice for gradually improving cardiovascular health after cardiac events.

[8] Mini-cycles provide low-intensity exercise that helps users "burn calories, combat cholesterol, help moderate blood sugar levels, provide gentle toning, keep joints mobile through gentle use, and improve general circulation."
