June 12, 200718 yr SBK - I wouldn't bother with the stuff they have at Tesco's. Really poorly made and won't last. You'll get fitter/slimmer repairing it! Why not ask one of the local keep fit gyms to get one for you? Alternatively, it's the same old story of BKK.

I will look it up. Ah , just looked and it is an exersise bike.
June 13, 200718 yr Does HomePro or Tescos in Samui sell them? Or anywhere in Samui? and if not, would Surat Thani be a better bet or just as unlikely? Don't bother with tesco's and you needn't go to Surat either...There are 3 good shops on the Island, notably Red Bicycle in Lamai who sell all the top of the range stuff, one next to Maenam Post Office, and one in Nathon at the Lamai end of the main street. If you don't want to splash out on an expensive Cannondale or the like, I can recommend the top of the range LA Bike model, about 10,000 or a little less. I've got 2 and it's a good bike for Samui, and well capable of off road trips. Good Luck. Steve
June 13, 200718 yr it's a good bike for Samui, and well capable of off road trips. She ain't gonna get too far around Samui on a "stationary" bike!
June 13, 200718 yr Author it's a good bike for Samui, and well capable of off road trips. She ain't gonna get too far around Samui on a "stationary" bike! It would be an interesting trip, tho
June 13, 200718 yr For those who seem a bit confused as to what a stationary bicycle is mmmmmm....it seems some tea leaf has borrowed the back wheel,good as an electricity dynamo though i reckon!
June 13, 200718 yr Author Well, perhaps I should then hook hubby up to it, since the bike is for him ---think he can power the house?
June 13, 200718 yr your putting hubby on that , gotta be a law somewhere ....................................
June 13, 200718 yr Author your putting hubby on that , gotta be a law somewhere .................................... Hey, his choice, he wants one! Age and weight are starting to creep up on him, I guess. But I do like the idea of hooking it up as an alternative power source while he exercises
June 13, 200718 yr Hey, his choice, he wants one! all married men know what their choice is .................... all the best with the light bill .
June 14, 200718 yr Tesco Lotus have one model for 6900 baht. It's such a boring form of exercise that most people who buy them store them in the shed within six months. And Red Bicycle closed up shop a couple of months back

But I do like the idea of hooking it up as an alternative power source while he exercises SBK Why not suggest to him more sex. Cheaper and more fun.
June 15, 200718 yr Author MYOB lite beer Regardless of my sex life hubby has a bad back and the doctor suggested either swimming or bicycling. Bicycling is pretty dangerous on our road, and the ocean will be low for another few more months, so hubby thought the stationary bicycle might be a good idea. However, a friend of ours uses the Jungle Gym in Thong Sala and said the rate is quite reasonable to use the equipment. She works out for an hour every day and says it helps alot. Not sure how motivated hubby would be to drive to Thong Sala to work out but if he isn't that motivated then he probably wouldn't be motivated enough for the stationary bicycle either! Thanks for the info, goldfish, I'll let him know the price.
