The apartment is too small to put it anywhere else. It's still winter, but the seat & handle get hot in the afternoon. If window sun is a probl...

Not to mention cat feet... My 2 are fascinated by the flywheel. Glad they can't see the chain!
BTW, the plastic strip slid back into position with no problem. Glad I stumbled across this post!
