Choosing a Bike

Some people prefer recumbent exercise bike but if you're looking for a standard upright exercise bike, here are some things to consider. Exercise bikes are generally compact but some are smaller than others. You may prefer a smaller, lighter model if you have less space or want to be able to move it out of the way. The more expensive models tend to be quieter, so consider how important that is to you. Also, look for features. Most bikes have tension control, many have speedometers, odometers, or calorie displays, and some have preset programs. Look for the things you like.
