It's great that the seats are adjustable... but in my gym, I can't move the handlbars towards me... so I have to stretch out to try to reach them. It's very uncomfortable. But it didn't use to be that way. Maybe your gym hasn't switched to the "new" bikes?
Otherwise, I have not clue on how to adjust the cleats/pedals... to ensure that my leg/foot/ankle are in proper alignment.
Then again, I'm use to Speedplays that allow my foot movement on the pedal while being clipped in.
End result? It's not as comfortable as my road bike.
