After the pandemic, many people are focusing on their health and wanting to engage in more physical activities. Cycling is one of them, as it offers a lower intensity compared to running and puts less pressure on the knees. It is suitable for individuals with higher body weight or weaker knees.

That's why indoor bike machines have become popular. Don't think that cycling indoors facing four walls would be boring. Recently, there are interactive smart bike machines available on the market. In this three-part series, we will introduce some of the most famous smart indoor bike machines. In the first episode, we will introduce the widely acclaimed Tacx Neo Bike Plus.

Today, I want to introduce a bicycle brand called BH, which may not be highly recognized locally but is definitely not an obscure brand.
