It seems like Spin and Peloton type bikes have taken the fitness crowd by storm! Where group cycle classes used to be something you had to attend in person, exercise bikes are now a part of many workout gurus’ personal equipment collection.

When thinking about the indoor area of the home to put a stationary bike of any type, from recumbent to Nordic trainer, you may find yourself wondering what the best exercise bike floor mat is.

It is true that exercise bikes provide a great workout machine for home, but they can also cause a lot of damage to your floor. Not only will a wood floor get scratched up and marked from dirt or sweat, but your carpet could get matted down and stained, as well.

Options for Best Bike Floor Mat
Whether a sale, a review, or warranty are the most important factors to you, or, perhaps a wild color option or just classic black top your list. Choose from various thickness, material, and price offerings to find the mat or flooring system that is perfect for your space.
