i read in a fitness mag once that regular is better b/c you force your core muscles to balance yourself -- better workout

We just bought an exercise bike yesterday and chose a regular one. My DH and I felt we would get a better workout with it. I have tried it out yesterday and today and I can definitely say it was harder than I thought and I think I got a good workout.

Thanks for the replies...I ended up getting a regular bike because my sis had it and she didnt want it...So I was VERY happy with my "FREE" bile

If anyone else is still looking, Consumer Reports just came out with ratings for stationary bikes and treadmills.
