What is the BEST action when an exercise bike is found to be malfunctioning?

Remove the bike from the gym
Put a 'do not use' sign on it
Unplug the bike until it is repaired
Continue to use it as is

The correct answer is: Remove the bike from the gym

Removing the malfunctioning exercise bike from the gym is the most responsible action. This option ensures the safety of all gym users by completely eliminating the risk of injury or accidents that could occur from using a bike that is not functioning properly. When equipment is malfunctioning, it can pose hazards such as malfunctioning brakes, unstable seating, or other issues that could lead to falls or injuries. While placing a 'do not use' sign on the bike or unplugging it can help temporarily, these actions do not fully remove the potential hazard from the gym environment. Users might ignore a sign or plug it back in out of curiosity or a desire to continue their workout. By removing the bike, you create a clear and definitive solution that protects members and highlights the importance of equipment maintenance. Continuously using the bike as it is would likely exacerbate any existing issues and increase the risk for users, making it an unsafe choice.
