There are three different styles of exercise bikes; recumbent bikes, spin bikes and upright bikes. Upright exercise bikes are well suited to individuals after a comfortable workout with the option to undertake moderately paced rides. For a higher intensity workout, spin bikes are a great alternative that allows riders to complete a more challenging interval workout. Spin bikes mimic the riding position of an on-road bike making it easy to lift on and off the seat to complete hill climbs and sprints. If you are after a more supportive machine a recumbent bike may be for you, with a bigger seat and backrest this machine is great for individuals with limited fitness capabilities or pre-existing injuries.
No matter what machine you go after it is important to get a machine that will provide you with the right support and be well suited to your workout routine. For bigger, frequent riders opt for a higher end model.
