Plain-English summary

Saris Cycling Group, of Madison, Wis., is recalling approximately 2,000 stationary bicycle trainers. The recalled trainers are a stationary frame that allows bicycles to be converted into stationary bicycles. The specific models involved are CycleOps Pro Series Trainer models 9014 (SuperMagneto Pro), 9331 (JetFluid Pro), 9460 (PowerBeam Pro), 9321 (JetFluid Pro Winter Training Kit), and 9322 (SuperMagneto Pro Winter Training Kit) that do not have the secondary locking pin. The model number and style names are printed on the left side of the main frame of the trainer.

The recall is being issued because a handle pin on the bicycle trainer can loosen during use. This can cause the machine to become disengaged, posing a fall hazard to consumers. No injuries have been reported.
