Hey SM...thanks for your insights. (I just happened to get a new recumbent exercise bike TODAY myself. What a b*tch that thing is to set up!)

You are really hitting the nail on the head about him being a low energy type of guy. In his defense, though, he does work out every day at work. He's been doing so since January and is quite proud of himself. Anyway, I haven't seen that this has affected his energy level at all. Interesting points you make, though.
