The Expresso bike are interesting, but they do have some limitations.

One is, as Rowan mentioned, the ability to adjust the fit. You can and should make some adjustments to ensure it fits you as well as possible.

Another is the way you steer. It's a bit different from a real bicycle.


My suggestion would be to alternate it with a spin bike. Ride the Expresso one day, ride the spin bike the next. Spin bikes can be adjusted more than an Expresso bike and fit more like a real bicycle. Take a spinning class 1-2 days per week if you can.


And I would also suggest getting an inexpensive bicycle now, something that you'll use as a "beater bike" after you get a good one. Make sure it is the right size for you and fits quite well. Then ride it whenever you can over the winter. That will give you a better idea of what you might want to look for in a good bicycle.
