Exercise bike

I understand that there are magnets in the flywheel of recumbent exercise bikes. Is that a problem with a pacemaker? I have the MEDTRONIC revo sure scan, and have had 2 MRI s.

They would only be a problem if you tried to stop the flywheel by putting your chest where the PM is on the flywheel. It might burn through the flesh.

Used in the "normal" way there isn't any problem.

Maybe if you hugged the wheel and that's a maybe.   I've had no problem.
