Has anyone discovered a lightweight preferrably compact recumbent exercise
bike?
My wife needs to exercise regularly. She would like to find a machine light
enough so she could handle it herself.
TIA

Is there a reason she cannot use an outdoor bicycle?  There are folder
bikes that could be stowed in a compartment of an RV.

Combine one of those with a little bolt on wind resistance exercise platform, and she won't even
have to leave the campsite.  Dogs may bark at her though.

Thanks Mike,

It rains and is cold outside and she can't move something heavy.

Not a bike, but I did find a cheap ($79 USD, IIRC) stair-stepper that
folds pretty easily to a fairly compact size.   It could be set up in
'most any but the smallest RV's, I think.   It's a little heavy, but is
framed in round tubing, so you can grab it securely anywhere.  I bought
it for home use, tho' I could take it along in my B van, bungeed in the
aisle.  

I bought it new locally from Play It Again Sports.  The brand is
'InMotion'.  I'll look for a model number if you need it.  

Jim, "Are we there yet?"
