I actually bike to work also, but just got this under desk bike and am really liking it. Don't feel like its distance calculator is super accurate, but supposedly I biked 30 miles yesterday. Much better than nothing either way!

Did have to tighten the bolts on my desk chair and lube it to get it to stop squeaking though

Manual says it never needs [to be] serviced.

That just means they didn't spend extra effort to make it serviceable because they want you to buy a new one sooner. Figure out how to service it anyway.

It has regular screws and is completely disassemble..able..

I've had mine apart just to search out the source of a noticeable noise when I pedaled. Turns out one of the belts had a defect, and it was within the return period so I had them replace it. New one hums along with much less noise.
