Stationary exercise bike

  • imex99
    Anyone have one, use one at the gym or can recommend one to buy?
  • mucalum49
    Saw commercials of this and thought it would be crazy expensive ($3-4k). $1299 still isn't cheap but it seems pretty cool.

    Could always buy a real bike. Cheaper, and it can actually get you somewhere.

    You ride outside in Ohio in the winter? Plus a REAL bike is not cheaper.

    No. I use my car.

    So your attempted point is not valid for a portion of the year.

    My point is still valid. I can afford a car, I don't need a bike. If I couldn't afford a car, I'd be in your position and I wouldn't be a giant pussy and ride the damn bike.

    Personal attack! Bring on the ban!

    A stationary bike is for exercise, not transportation.

    You don't need a bike to exercise. Go on a walk. I just saved you 2 grand.

    I'd be stunned if you could keep with my exercise routine and I'm sure I was born a decade prior to you.

    I'd be stunned if your bank account was 1% of mine and you're way older.

    In a few weeks there should be a bunch of lightly used exercise equipment for sale from everyone who gave up on their new years resolution.

    Refer to the OP, which seems to be about what advice they have regarding exercise bikes.

    Was gonna say the same thing. You can pick up alot of stuff pretty cheap from people who buy stuff for home but dont use it.

    It is difficult PTing at home. It really is. Too many distractions and there is that mental aspect that you can do it anytime, and in turn you dont carve out any time to actually do it. Many people can stick to it at home.....but it is much more difficult to do so.

    I'm quite the opposite. If I had to drive to a gym (30 minutes away), I know I wouldn't train as much...especially in the winter. The fact that I have a 15 second walk to a commercial gym (my garage) keeps me motivated. Plus I prefer to train alone unless I need a spot on the bench.
