Break a Sweat with Nautilus R514 Recumbent Exercise Bike
An “Armchair Cycle” in the 19th Century – Although some people believe that a bike, such as the Nautilus R514 Recumbent Exercise Bike, is a somewhat of a new invention, actually the recumbent made its debut at the end of the 19th century.
At that time, it was a rather heavy, cumbersome cycle and therefore got the reputation of being designed for comfort rather than speed. In fact, recumbents dating back to the early 1900s were referred to as “armchair bikes.”
