So I was thinking of buying an exercise bike.. can anyone recommend one mainly for losing a bit of weight/toning up? I've got about £150 to spend.. and the cheaper the better of course. The thing about exercise bikes is that you actually have a figure for how much you've worked. That's why I prefer them to normal cycling :P

Rowing machines I can understand as you don't get wet.
But exercise bikes...

Get a proper bike, and just get one of them small computers for it, ive got one, shows you miles cycles, average speed, etc all that crap

Which are notoriously inaccurate, varying from person to person depending on sex, age, bodyweight, muscle mass, diet, etc.

Seriously, if that is your only meagre reason, save your money, get some fresh air and enjoy yourself by cycling outdoors.

I can almost guarantee that within a few months, maybe even weeks, of your purchase said bike will be being used as a clothes horse rather than a weight loss/'toning' tool.
