Is this a good deal on a cycling bike?

[B40]

Regular price is $1299, but it's on sale now for 4 hours (or until it's sold out) for $699.

I Google'd a bit to see what other stores are selling it at and found two stores both selling it for $1299

GNC $1299
GNC - Schwinn Indoor Cycling Evolution SR Bike

Joes Sports $1299
Joe's - Schwinn Indoor Cycling Evolution SR Bike

Also found one ebay seller for $560 with 2 days left for a display unit

Anyone? I got one hour to decide

I would buy a regular bike that you can get outside on.

If you're not sure if those are good prices for those bikes, you probably don't really need to buy one that expensive just yet.

Hard to do that in the winter when there's snow on the ground

Yup, I decided not to make an impulse buy. I need to do more research and see what else is out there and what I really need. $700 was still a bit expensive even though it was on sale.

You can buy a real bike and put it on a little stand to make it into an indoor workout bike. Never tried it personally but I've heard good things about them, and it can save you money in the long run if you ever plan to ride outside.

I'd be scared of the bike falling and me going flying into the wall

Nah man u can buy a little device to lock the bike in place. I've seen them in action before but it doesn't help that I don't even know what they are called... maybe someone can help.

I won't be cycling anywhere but indoors during the winter... unless I took it up as a sport, but I don't even bike in the summers, why would I do it in the winter?
