Question
Are batteries necessary to use the bike or just the LCD screen?
I understand that this bike requires D size batteries, but do those batteries do anything for the bike itself or is it just the LCD? In other words, could you still ride the bike without batteries?
Also, how many batteries are required? And they are D size, correct?

Yes, you either need batteries or A/C adapter to power the bike... If you call the number on the front of the manual, you can purchase the A/C adapter for $24... way better than using batteries... plus, the batteries run down fast if you use the LCD, fan, and MP3.

4 D batteries are needed to use the LCD display unit, which allows you to pick the various exercise routines, set the tension levels, monitor your progress, etc. Else, you can purchase separately an ~$70 power adapter (was not included in the box). W/o some type of power to the display unit, you will just be spinning your wheels.
