[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 613330, member: 55568"] I'm with ElyDave on this. If you have a bike, a turbotrainer is a much cheaper option of getting the same feel as a quality exercise bike, and of course, you can use it on the road. I got one and used my son's old bike. I built a trekking bike later which I use on the cycleways and now I got a mountain bike as well. I still use the turbo trainer though and have upgraded to a fancy one which links into a computer. The basic ones are still better than a cheap exercise bike, much smoother and offering many levels of resistance if your bike has gears.

I got an entry level model by an italian company by the name of elite, [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elite-Volare-Mag-Cycle-Turbo-Trainer-/181495525424?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item2a41f9f030[/url] There's loads on ebay as well as cheap bikes if you don't have one.
