I find I am the one social distancing all the time too. People just want to walk into me. It is hard work being so aware all the time, in front, to the sides and behind you. When I go for a walk I choose destinations carefully. I have not visited our local nature reserves for a year now cos of the amount of people using them. Hence, I use a treadmill mostly at home where I can relax.

We went to our local nature reserve yesterday and Monday, and it was a pleasant surprise as it just the odd dog walker .
 
Well up until just over 4 years ago I would have been one of them!
 
I live in Luxembourg, but Aldi is pretty much everywhere on this planet🙂 I bought one of their exercise bikes a while ago, so far no issues with it except you do need to have strong batteries in it to make sure the screen is readable. Otherwise solid and works well. I paid around €150 for it a year or so ago.
 
Reebok gb40. £350.00 from argos. If you will use it regularly it is well worth the money. I have one so can vouch for it.
 
Has heart rate monitor on it. The computer screen measures the usual speed distance etc.... has a bottle holder (very handy) Feels sturdy like the ones at the gym.
 
@Docb used to run a bike shop, and may have some pearls of wisdom, and/or things to look out for?

For that money I would consider a look on ebay if your able to pick one up at £200 your at the bottom end so I would question lack of seat adjustments and general quality.


But you would get better on eBay etc.

I agree, there must be a million exercise bikes up and down the UK of higher spec than you'll get brand new currently being deployed as clothes horses!
 
I could have had a very high end exercise bike free - I bought a trampoline.
Trampoline is fun!! Even after many years it still gets used.
