What is the best upright exercise bike for a tall person? I was wondering if there are any upright exercise bikes on the market suitable for tall people. I am 6'2'' and 200lbs. I have tried out a Schwinn 140 in a nearby sports store but my knees just about hit the handlebars. The only bike in the store that was a good fit was a ProForm but I've read bad reviews about those. I don't have an outdoor bike and don't want a recumbent exercise bike. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Myself and my neighbor are purchasing bikes just to ride around the neighborhood every evening for exercise. I like the style of a cruiser, and have always wanted one but am used to a more mountain bike type and like the idea of more than one speed and handle breaks.

I'm torn between the two bikes.

Best exercise bike in the $100 - $200 range? I'm looking to spend the winter months working off this gut I've put on over the last year, and I'm never motivated to do cardio at the gym after lifting. But having a bike at home is something I feel will let me pick my own time a little easier. Plus with the roads icy I can't go out on a real bike. I've been looking at Wal-mart, Sears, Sports Authority, etc. Does anybody have any personal experience with a bike in the hundred to two hundred price range? I've looked around, and the only thing I've been able to determine is that NordicTrac bikes are pieces of crap. Can anyone help me find a stable bike to work off some calories? Thanks.

I thought squats, lunges, crunches, plies etc after 30 mins of biking, but how many reps do i do and in what order.

Thanks By the way the only equipment that i have except for my exercise bike is a set of free weights.
I'm managing longer on the exercise bike, but what intensity is best? I managed to do more time on the bike today (20 minutes at once) and I'm going to try to keep pushing this upwards, but as I start, I usually start with low intensity and work up to the top and then do it again going from low to high intensity. However, as I get towards the end of the workout, I can't reach the top and can hardly get up from the lowest intensity. Is this OK, or do I really need to get the intensity up?

How accurate inaccurate are the calorie counters on exercise bikes? Every day I hope on an exercise bike for about an hour or so. It usually says I burn somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 calories.

How effective are exercise bikes in achieving weight loss? I have just aquired an exercise bicycle from a friend of mine who was moving that didn't wish to take it with her. When I go to the gym (rarely) I usually use the elliptical machine, but since I have this bike now, I would much rather stay at home and workout. My question is for those of you who ride exercise bikes, is it really just as effective as other machines at weight loss, or will I have to ride at longer intervals to achieve any type of results? For the record, I'm 26 yrs old, 5'6 and weigh 130lbs, trying to get down to 120lbs, or at least stay in that range.

Do exercise bikes build up calf muscle?

Would I lose weight if I used it an hour every other day?? Are they worth spending $500 on?
Does anyone know where I can find reviews on exercise recumbent bikes? Or recommend one? I have been looking at the Edge 440 recumbent exercise bike, but cannot find any information on how good they are. I haven't heard of Edge before and wonder if anyone has anything made by them or where I might be able to go online to find any reviews on it.

Is weight capacity important for exercise bikes? Concerning exercise bikes, is obeying the weight capacity important? I'm an ogre, you see, and I understand that the weight capacity is important for treadmills as the parts in it could wear out. But bikes? As long as the seat is held up by a steel frame, does it really matter if i'm 20-50 lbs over the weight capacity?
How effective are exercise bikes? I'm toying with the idea of buying myself an exercise bike. My sister has one, says she burns about 1,000 calories a day. I'm leaning more towards a recumbent bike, preferably the ProForm SR30. I'm figuring a session in the morning, then one after work, plus a bunch of different crunch methods to top things off. Of course, my real problem will be to stay motivated, which is always the hardest part for me.

Do those little mini exercise bikes work? I saw an infomercial for one of those little stationary bikes that are really just the pedals. You are supposed to be able to use them under your desk, put them on a table and use them for your arms, take them anywhere. I'm always really skeptical about these things, but if it did work, it would be great for me. I live in one room...not a lot of space. Does anyone know anything about them?

Any health risks associated with recumbent exercise bikes? I like the recumbent bike because it doesn't put pressure on my lower back. I'm thinking of exercizing on it 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Are there any health risks associated with the recumbent (such as overuse injuries)? Thanks.
Which exercise bikes are better, upright or recumbent? I'm looking to buy a (cheap) exercise bike, but i can't decide what would be better, the uprights or the recumbents (the ones where you sit back and pedal as opposed to lean forward and hold the grips). Also, if you have any suggestions as to which brands to get or NOT to get, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to spend under $150, just a very basic bike, nothing fancy.

And second question, does it really matter if it's a cheap one or an expensive one? I don't have much money, but if it works, I want one.
