What’s Your Inseam?
Before you buy a bike, you will need to know your inseam. Inseam is the measurement from the start of your leg to the middle of your foot. At Sunny Health and Fitness, we record the minimum and maximum inseam levels on each of our bikes. This way, our customers can find a bike that will fit their inseam. Some bikes, like the SF-B1714 Evolution Pro can adjust for people as short as 5”2 to taller individuals at 6”2. This is important to note, in case you are looking to share your indoor cycling bike with your spouse, family members, or friends.
