I'm looking for a good recumbent bike for my living room so I can get my fat ass back in shape for hockey season. I currently have one that is a total piece of garbage, and if I can't sit on it for more than 15 minutes without my ass going numb it won't do me much good.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to spend more than $500 or so, but I need it to be well made for the amount of punishment I intend to put it through. (1-2 hours a night of straight cycling, with 3 hours after I melt off some of this gut in a month or so). I melted the drive belt off my last one after an 80-mile session, and again, my current replacement is crap.
Any help would be appreciated.
edit: also, how do I get the ghastly odor out of old workout shoes? My favorite shoes, my Adidas Sambas, are so foul that my feet actually make my carpet stink after I take them off. I about died last night and had to use half a bottle of Febreze. I used to wear them to work out and I'd put my sweaty feet in them after hockey practices and such, and I think they've become sentient at this point.
I'm thinking if I fill a bucket with Pine-Sol and water and let them baste for a couple days it should do the trick. That stuff is prett industrial strength. Obviously I don't want to use bleach or other powerful chemicals because I don't want to kill my shoes.
