I am thinking of getting a recumbent excercise bike with magnetic resistance. Should I be concerned with it affecting my pacemaker? I tested it using a compass and there was no needle deflection at all.

...w/o any ill effect. Go 3 - 4 miles on one three times a week w/o problems.
Have at it!

I've used them with no problem.
Like Tracey said, try out a floor model in the store.

Hi!
I just got one about a month ago and have had no problems with it interfering with my pacer.
Good luck to you!

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!

I've used them with no problems. If it's going to affect us, the magnet usually has to be 1) very strong and 2) less than 6" from our device.
