The user is not always correct. There are times when an individual user wants something that would not be beneficial to the majority of the users. This is true in the instance where one or two users want more features. More features should not be added unless its what the majority of the users want or could benefit from. Too many features clutters the product and distracts you from what features are necessary. There is a larger user centered focus when designing because you want the product to benefit the majority of people.
I would redesign a few things with the interface on the workout bike. I would start by eliminating the numbers that stretch across the interface. I think that they are unnecessary and cause clutter. I would also eliminate the three buttons that are used for display settings. They could be accessed through the options button and are more unwanted clutter.
