Need an exercise bike for the home, I'm willing to pay up to about £250 for a good quality one (don't want it to fall to pieces)

Magnetic resistance seems to be the way to go but I'd be interested to hear any recomendations.

I will be attending the gym on a regular basis after about 3 months but it will be usefull to have a piece of equipment at home for those days when I'm not motivated enough to make it to the gym or for a quick Sunday morning cardio session

Cheers

I would recommend a decent air resistance rowing machine myself MB instead of a bike, if you have the room for one that is. As a very good cardio workout from the rowing machines and also a better workout of more muscle groups than the bike offers. Which will help for when you start the gym up.

The one that worked for me was to get a resistance machine for my existing pushbike, very cheap and easy to get set up the only drawback is having enough room for a full sized pushbike instead of a usually smaller exercise bike.

something like this for example (only by example)

/edit: woah, just looked at the price of that model, have a look around there are some that are by far a lot cheaper!

Went with a refurb'ed eliptical in the end, I know I can get a great workout with one of these machines even when I get a lot fitter and a good one was well out of my price range until I found a company which did refubs and offered a full years on site parts and labour waranty :D

I will soon be in possession of a Bremshey Control S
