To be fair, these older bikes were used for rehab purposes mostly, but Crossfit has popularized them once again. I noticed recently that I was largely inactive outside my few hours lifting each week. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to increase my activity level and be as efficient about it as possible. I think I found the answer.

i thought MMA gyms popularised them
Since not many people read the description, these older bikes were used for rehab purposes mostly, but Crossfit has popularized them once again. I also realize the seat is too low in the first clip. It was the first time I sat on it so it was at the previous owners height. I raised the seat right after, as you can see in the talking portion of the video.
Have you ever considered getting a rower for cardio instead?
You’ve prob changed it by now but your saddle height is a good bit too low in the first clip, might want to stick it up a bit so you don’t get pains in your quads
I use an elliptical at my gym with levers for the arms like on this bike to warm up before every work out. Works great, IMO. They don’t have one of these fan bikes at my gym though. The fan must feel nice.
I get a similar one from the thrift store for $10
Airdyne bikes are what they are called. Not crossfit bikes. These bikes are used for many sports today. A lot of fighters use them for cutting weight because they use a lot of movement for when the fighter is drained physically.
You’re sitting a little low on it (jus sayin)… EDIT: should have read the comments. If you’re open to a random stranger’s opinions, doing AMRAP pushups w/ weight (but not so much that it becomes a strength test) have helped my bench in the past (and can be good cardio).
Awesome, the heart cant differentiate whether your using the Rogue echo bike or the Airdyne.
You forgot to wear your belt and sleeves
paint it
20 rep squats for cardio! the crossfitter side slowly coming out the closet…..Man!
Not related to this video, but to your channel in general: is your basement ceiling tall enough for you to do overhead presses? If not, do you do substitute exercises?
I’ve been looking for one on Craigslist also. Working a desk job and just training the Big 3 does lead to a whole of activity.
They aren’t CrossFit bikes
These bikes are killers, love em
lmao, I have the same bike, and it makes that same noise when I start pedaling faster.
Please do a video log of the restoration of it. These things are still $175 – $250 in my area. Just picked one of these and a C2 model D for $800. Great piece of cardio equipment.
I just bought one for $50… Love it.
Do a 50 cal sprint in under 1 min.
I bought the gold one for $50 off Craigslist years back. The best piece of cardio equipment Ive owned
how come your old gym isnt open to the public anymore
I heard that one cardio session kills all of your gains instantly. Is that true?
Anyone who’s used an air-bike won’t make fun of you. Those things will kick your rear. I’m an “older guy” too, with bad joints and I’m trying to get the new bike from Rogue, the Ecko bike. They sell out in about a hour with each new shipment they get in…..I’ve been trying since January. Looks like you got a great piece of gear at a very reasonable price….ENJOY.
Cardio sucks…not really but I gotta have fun with it. Kept my Y membership strictly to play basketball plus get out of the house (same situation as you). If I ever get around to clean out my garage more I’d get a bike.
Isnt the seat too low?
“CrossFit” bike… my aunt had one of these in the 80’s..
Hi
Man we used those for MMA/Wrestling all the time…they the god damn devil!!!
I just bought the exact same one a few days ago for 100. I didn’t want to drop 600+ for a fancy one that i might not even commit to using. So far I used it once and it got my whole body sore
Used by UFC fighters all across the land. Can’t wait to see you in the octagon bro!
Nice get B!!
Very interesting! I didn’t know such a thing existed. I might have to look around for one to replace my treadmill. Thanks Brandon!
I love my echo bike, but my brother got a pristine airdyne for like $100. Now I can add you to the list of guys I’m jealous of, too. $100 for a piece of equipment like this is a fantastic bargain. That’s $650 that you saved and can use for a couple new barbells or something. I’m jealous, TBH.
Nice man, the fiance was wanting a spin bike, but I was considered trying to find an air bike also. Is that pretty loud? Just wondering because sometimes I train around midnight when wife and kids are sleeping lol
I have an old school gold all metal model I got at a Replay Sports with the tags and owner’s manual still attached. Brutal
Could we see some kipping pullups next?
Just got the same thing for $75.00!!
Now that’s a solid buy for $100. I have my spin bike that I use but that looks better as your able to warm up more of your body compaired to just being on a bike
He he, yeah, it definitely is FANtastic hehehe
Logical choice. Have you given any thought as to how you will measure your progress in cardiovascular fitness? Resting heart rate? Blood lipids?
That bike is from hell
Found a similar but newer model for free with a battery powered monitor and great working quality. Really good piece to have
When you gonna dry wall your ceiling and paint your cement walls
I have literally just discovered the magic of these bikes myself. Great review as always, and It’s just nice to see something like this that was made of quality.
Got an Airdyne AD-4 for $100, a little worse off than yours but it’s bombproof.
You should consider raising the seat. Your legs are bent too much to get maximum power out of them.
You are a Craigslist assassin! Rogue should send you their Echo bike for a comparison review. Looking forward to seeing you compete in the Crossfit Games Master’s division. Crossfitter. lol
