Quick Summary
The Concept2 BikeErg with PM5 Monitor is an air-resistance exercise bike with a PM5 monitor included. It is built around adjustable seat height and handlebar positions, so the fit can be set to suit the rider.
The BikeErg also uses a clutched flywheel, which keeps spinning when the pedals stop. That means the pedals can coast during intervals and rest periods, just as on a real bike.
