Hi Janine,

Shout out to my dear friend, Charline Cupole, from whom I learned about "reading" bikes back in 2018. From Amazon, during summer of 2018 I bought a FlexiSpot Desk Bike Chair Home Office Workstation Standing up Exercise Bike Indoor Height Adjustable Desk Cycle. Looks like it's currently well under $500 and it's still going strong with LOTS of regular use from students who LOVE it! (Easy to assemble; however, be sure to put the pedals on correctly, or they'll keep falling off and they might get stripped.)

Hi all! I am looking for recommendations on reading bikes (stationery/recumbent bikes for the library.) The old stationary bike from my home is a big hit and I'd like to add more. From my limited research, it might be tough to squeeze this idea into a PTA $500 grant...

Thanks,
Janine
