The York C102 is one of their entry-level bikes, which to you and me that means the cheapest. However, whilst cheap it certainly isn't nasty, in fact it represents view very good value for money. York make some pretty good kit and are usually a safe bet when it comes to reliability. The C102 is a basic bike but you'll easily get a couple of years trouble-free exercise with it - so long as you don't want any frills.
The C102 is pretty quiet to use so you could watch TV or listen to the radio while using it. It's also quite sturdy so it won't wobble whilst you're cycling at high speeds. In fact, it's capable of supporting a user weighing up to 19.5 stone (125KG). The saddle can be adjusted easily to suit most riding positions from average height to about 6" 2'and is quite comfortable - although you cannot adjust it horizontally.

The console is good for the price and has a large LCD screen displaying the usual workout data such as speed, distance, calories, pulse and an alarm when you reach your target heart rate. You can monitor your pulse using the hand grips on the handles. This isn't as accurate as a chest strap and polar chip but then you'll have to pay over twice as much to get this feature. In conclusion: A good, basic exercise bike that will get you fit if you're on a budget.
