In recent times, exercise bikes are fast becoming the trend among many different groups of people. Among them are the obese and plus-sized people who may have a genetic predisposition to the accumulation of body fat or may have over the course of many years, adopted sub-optimal habits that have a negative effect on general health and wellness. On a more social level, obesity has been described as a major public health issue in Australia. In 2017, the costs in productivity and healthcare treatments were estimated to be at about 8.6 billion dollars and conservative projections forecast that by 2025, three-quarters of all Australian males will be overweight or obese.
