Are you familiar with the Littlewoods name? You should be – it is very well established in the UK. Littlewoods is a part of many high streets and of course the Littlewoods Direct name is now just as well known online too.
But if the first thing you think of is clothing, you might be amazed to find you can buy a lot more from them too – including exercise bikes of all shapes and descriptions.
How can I find their website?
The address is easy enough to find online – just go straight to www.littlewoodsdirect.com. You’ll find out how to get to the exercise bikes in a moment.
A Selection of the Best Selling Exercise Bikes from Very
How do I find all their exercise bikes?
Hover over the word ‘sports’ and then look for the phrase ‘gym equipment’ near the centre of the box that pops up. You have two options then – you’ll see a picture of an exercise bike on the next page, which you can click on, or you can reach the same page by clicking on ‘exercise bikes’ on the left hand side of the page.
Either way, you will reach this URL – http://www.littlewoodsdirect.com/rf/lxd/s.do/sports/. This will take you straight to that section in future if you wish to bookmark it for that purpose.
What kind of exercise bikes do they sell?
There is a great range of exercise bikes on sale here. They are listed automatically to appear with the most expensive ones first, going down to the cheapest ones on the last page.
As you will see you can search for your ideal bike in two ways – filtering the selection down by brand or by price. Depending on your budget, you might want to stick to brand, since there are a number of big names here you will recognise. Take Body Sculpture, Reebok and V-Fit for example. And there are plenty more!
There is the odd recumbent exercise bike, where you essentially lay back and have your legs stretched out in front of you, but the majority of the bikes here are of the more traditional appearance. There are also some which fold away in between uses, which is good if you are looking for something that won’t take up too much space.
Does the site provide a lot of information?
Oh, definitely! As soon as you hover your mouse over the selection of exercise bikes listed on the site, you can see whether they are in stock or not. Watch out for the green square for in stock, and the red one if you are out of luck.
When you go into the actual item you are interested in, you can read how the bike is made and what the maximum body weight for the user is. You will also see a list of functions that are performed by the on board computer, assuming there is one.
People can write and leave reviews for items they have bought, so watch out for these as they are able to leave a five star rating at most. The guarantee applicable to the exercise bike you are buying is also listed underneath in the tabbed section which also has other information in it.
Can you order your exercise bike online?
Yes, ordering is quite easy. Take a look on the product page and you will see a green ‘add to basket’ button on the right hand side. Also on that part of the page you will see the estimated delivery time in red type, and the delivery charge that will be applied in order to have that item delivered.
Once you add the bike you want to your basket, a small box will appear telling you that this has been done. You can look in your basket at any time simply by clicking on the appropriate link that appears in the black box at the top right of the screen.
A small picture of your bike will appear next to the listing in the basket, so you can double check whether this is the one you want before going ahead with your purchase.
In conclusion
If you are after a good quality exercise bike that isn’t going to break the bank, Littlewoods Direct could well be the best place for you to look. They do have an impressive range, but you won’t be overwhelmed by the selection there is on offer.
For anyone with a reasonable budget though, Littlewoods Direct should be able to provide you with a great exercise bike to get pedalling on.
