Any FitDesk owners?

So one of Amazon's Deals of the Day is the FitDesk v3.0 Desk Bike with Extension Kit, White for $199 (from $400). I've been thinking about buying an exercise bike to ride for a few days and then forget I even own it and this seems like a good deal?

Anyone own one? How's the construction, etc? Couldn't find anything via forum search. Thanks!

    I had their under-desk thing and it was fine while I had it. What I found is that it's very hard to keep cycling when you're really thinking hard. So for easy tasks you end up cycling, and for the difficult ones you've just got a funky chair.

    You might just be better off getting an adjustable desk and pairing it with an exercise bike, one that's easy to move away when you want to use a normal chair instead. FWIW, I have a FitDesk treadmill and its good build quality, but I don't do any work with it because like Pacstar said when you need to focus its a bit of a distraction.

    Would really only be riding on it to do something while gaming. The main draw for this one was the footprint and the weight (~60lbs iirc), well that and the price drop.
