I have had my Flexispot V9U Deskcise Pro Under Desk Bike for about 8 months now, and I love it! I purchased it without the desk option (didn't want to have to store yet something else). Initially, the first bike received started with a clinking noise in the covered wheel section within the first few weeks. I emailed customer support and Rich sent me out a new bike immediately with NO hassle ~ thank you!! Which, is why I am just now writing my review. I was worried, if I did and just my luck, the clanking would start again on my new bike...But, that hasn't happened, and I am so happy with my purchase! If I were to buy another one, however, I would purchase the desk option. Currently I have it under my desk (and you can't ride it every day, 8 hours a day - your tooshie starts to get a little sore after many consistent days). But, also, it's easy enough to roll in front of the tv in the living room, and having that desk option would be nice for that reason. Otherwise, it feels a little awkward the first time without any handles. I definitely recommend this bike! Again, thank you Rich for all your kind help with the replacement!
