Exercise bike equipment can be a great investment for improving your health and fitness. A good workout just makes you feel better and the right equipment is fun to use. Choose an exercise bike that feels right and you'll enjoy riding. Equipment that doesn't fit correctly or is in any way irritating will be a constant aggravation.ElectronicsExercise bikes come in several types and all kinds of price ranges. The electronics which include programmable ride simulations and video displays affects the price quite a bit. You can get built in heart rate monitors and many other electronic options.Upright or RecumbentAnother basic choice in bikes is whether you prefer an upright bike or a recumbent one. The recumbent bike puts you in a sitting position which minimizes the stress to the knees. But it's difficult to vary your position on a recumbent, so you're pretty well stuck in one spot.

I don’t bike much, but I watched people try this out while I was running my 3 miles on the treadmill (Monroe YMCA), and it looked really fun. I decided to give it a shot. Luckily there was someone on the second one sitting next to me to show me how it worked. You first pick a track. You can choose between racing tracks or outdoor trail, mountain courses, trails, etc. I chose an ocean side trail. I started racing and was told I should pay attention to the pace rider -the trick is to stay ahead of the pace racer. You also need to pay attention to the % of incline, according to if you’re going up a hill or down one. You can shift gears, just like on a regular bike to pedal easier, or harder to gain some speed. Pretty fun - my only complaint, I couldn’t coast downhill.. In no time, I completed almost 3.5 miles and my legs were burning. It’s like you hardly realize you’re getting a workout!
