How does it work with a Proform stationary bike?

We have an elliptical machine not a stationary bike, however, we were severely disappointed by the claims versus reality here. I should have saved my money.

I don't know if it will work with a proform bike, but I will give you fair warning. If you are going to use it for the live workout/street view workout, be warned it does not work as advertised. I use it when it works on an elliptical. The last couple weeks it has not worked. It has been in 'beta' for six months. The screen updates as you go can semi-spastic. The speed is imaginary. The incline does not adjust (although that may not matter on a bike). In my opinion this iFit program is a complete scam and would not be surprised to see a lawsuit coming soon. Tech support consists of "sorry, we're working on it." Good luck. I don't know if it will work with a proform bike, but I will give you fair warning.

That will work, although I'm sure it's not recommended by the manufacturer. You can do it, but be sure to position the jack such that the bike is properly balanced. It's best to at least use a stationary wheel chock while using the jack.

I have a Specialized Cruz mountain bike and it works fine. It attaches to your frame.

It will absolutely NOT track stationary bike movement with your hands holding fixed bars. Nike admits this. It isn't great with eliptical either, even with arms in motion. I wore mine for a 40 minute rigorous stationary bike ride and it said I burned around 10 calories Uh, not so much...

I can only assume it would be great, but without knowing how the mount/post on a stationary bike is designed i dont know if it is compatible. If the seat mount is like a bike mount, i'm sure you will enjoy it.

I don't know but I can't think of a reason it wouldn't as long as you can attach the sensor to a wheel fork (the two pronged metal piece that is part of the frame and holds the wheel) and the magnet to a spoke on the wheel. A regular bicycle on a stationary stand would work but perhaps not a stationary bike machine without a wheel fork and without spokes.

You place your bike on it and ride indoors in place of riding outside.The difference is the bike is stationary.

Short answet: yes.Long answer: it depends on the fixation system of the seat to the pole on your stationary bike.

I have it on a Schwinn stationary bike. This seat is not very wide. The seat that came on the bike is wider.

The bike can be pedaled; however, the only resistance is the wheel's inertia. The power moves a magnet close to the wheel to make it more difficult to pedal - kind of like a brake. The power also keeps track of workout time, distance traveled, etc.; and powers the "dinky" cooling fans. The position of the magnet (brake) during exercise time is programmed for each exercise routine, or it can be programmed by the rider. Without power, you miss 90% of the product offering ... but the pedals will turn the wheel thus providing exercise.

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

While I don't have the specific bike in question, it should work on most bikes *except* full suspension bikes. It uses a pretty straight-forward clamp that is intended to fit vertically at the rear-most part of the frame, right before the drop-outs: http://www.intownbicycles.com/images/bicycle-terms/bicycle-frame-tube-names.jpgSince this joint moves on many full suspension bikes the clamp would bind the joint.There are other potential gotchas like how cluttered the area is and the angles of the frame that are hard to predict fitment without familiarity with the bike specifics.-john While I don't have the specific bike in question, it should work on most bikes *except* full suspension bikes.

As a cyclist, I was hopping it would ... but it does not. While it does register some movement it is no where near the number of rotations your legs make on the bike. I did a 25 mile ride and it registered less than 4,000 steps.

The front of the bike has wheels that will roll so you would have to lift and guide the bike from the back. As far as what it's designed for, it's probably meant to stay in one place because it is kind of heavy to be moving around often....unless you want to incorporate that into your workout...

No, the handlebars do not move at all. I prefer it myself. And as far as the overall bike goes, it is very sturdy and reliable. I've owned a ProForm before and that's why I got this one. The exercise programs that come included are very good and you can do your own. You don't even have to use a program but sit on it and pedal away. I enjoy mine and use it every day. There is never a problem with it that I have encountered.
