What's the best kind of stationary bike?

I see that there are upright bikes and recumbent bikes, if not more, and I'm curious what the difference really is? Is one better than the other?

I was checking out and they have a lot to choose from, so maybe I can narrow things down a bit if I know the pros and cons of each type of bike. Is one more comfortable than the other?

I don't know, I hope it's more than just a gimmick.

The ones with wheels that move along a cycle path are best. The air inside a house is generally much more polluted than outside air, it's just because you can't see far enough to notice the haze.

Harry - there are a TON of bikes to choose from, and honestly, most of it is a personal choice - what you are looking for, and what is comfortable for you. Personally, a recumbent bike is NOT comfortable for my hips - and something about exercising, while sitting on a bike, with back support just doesn't make sense to me (unless you have an issue that would warrant it). If this is a purchase you truly want to make -- and it is not going to become a HUGE clothes hanger or dust collector - I would suggest going and talking to someone about some of the differences (or research online), and sitting on them to see what is more comfortable for you - they have different seats, different adjustment options, different bells and whistles, etc. But, yes, most of it is gimmick (screens vs. no screens - computers vs no computers).

Sorry - probably not much help - just my $0.02
 
I have a stationary bike and I got the cheaper one but I love it. It helps me to lose weight and tone my muscle but if you have enough budget you can buy the expensive one that is adjustable or has monitor in it.
