I was just doing some work on the exercise bike pages on this site and completed a few reviews on some of the mid-range and inexpensive indoor cycle / spinning bikes available online.
I have had the Livestrong Exercise Bike out on the site for quite a while and I really do think that this is one of the best indoor cycles out there, in addition to the fact that purchasing this bike helps with the fight against cancer, but until now I did not have any information on inexpensive or mid range indoor cycles.
Well I just added the ProForm 290 SPX review (for a mid-range indoor cycle) and the Spinner® Sport review (for a low cost indoor cycle / spinning bike).
I had a little background info on Proform bikes, from discussions with my friend who was the marketing manager for Smooth Fitness and I recently reviewed the Spinner Sport bike at a local fitness shop.
Both of these exercise bikes, being indoor cycle trainers, are great choices for serious workouts and indoor training and are much more affordable than the Livestrong bike.
Next, I’ll be getting back to the regular bike reviews (since it’s outdoor riding season now) and I will be adding some more low cost and mid-range bike reviews to the bike review section of the site. Initially, I have started with reviews of some of the higher end bikes that are available online, but I want to have more choices in the regular bike categories also.

Although it is May and outdoor bike riding season, I just did some updates on the Exercise Bike pages on this site and just discovered that there are excellent mark downs on the Schwinn Dual Action Fan Exercise Bikes!
Of course, this makes sense since we are in the off-season for fitness equipment, but these are the lowest prices that I’ve seen on these Schwinn fan exercise bikes.
The flagship Schwinn Airdyne is marked down to $575 ($50 less than last month) and the higher end (smaller fan) Schwinn Airdyne Evo Comp is marked down to $650 ($100 less than last month).
Even though a lot of us are riding outdoors now, if you were considering one of these fitness bikes, this looks like a great time to check them out. The “Fan” design seems perfect for summer too! Hey, get some exercise and save on your electric bill too! 
Anyway, check out the Schwinn Airdyne and Schwinn Airdyne Evo Comp pages on this site for some good prices on these exercise bikes.

I just completed some major updates to the exercise bike pages on this site (even though it is kind of the off season for fitness equipment) including a new “Best Buy” Exercise Bike page.
In the process of reviewing the exercise bike pages on this site, I have discovered that many of these bikes have really come down in price from the late fall early spring time frame.
Of course, this makes sense, since we are all getting outside now with the weather getting much better but if you are considering one of these machines, it really makes sense to get them this time of year.
Well, I hope that you like all of the additional exercise bike information that is out there now, the new format and the “Best Buy” page.
As for me, it is a BEAUTIFUL DAY right now (here in Chicagoland) and I need to get out on my regular outdoor bike for a ride!
I’m also in the market for some major outdoor bike accessories so stay tuned for more on that soon.
Later, Rob

Here’s the latest updates on the About-Bicycles Exercise Bike pages. The weather has taken a turn for the worse here in Chicagoland and since I haven’t been able to get out a ride the trails today, I’ve been doing some really good work on the Exercise Bike pages on this site.
I am actually planning on doing many more significant updates to the exercise bike pages and this is really just the first step to putting the new format into place.
Although cyclists do have and use exercise bikes and trainers (bike stands for your regular outdoor bike), many of the visitors to this site are primarily interested in exercise bikes (as fitness equipment) and are not really interested in all of the other bike pages, bike accessory pages and bike trails articles on this site.
Therefore, the most significant change that I have made is to use a different web page template for the Exercise Bike page on this site so if you are browsing the site for exercise bikes, you will have all of the exercise bike links easily accessible (and always in the same position) on the side bars.
In addition the the new template, I have also reviewed the existing exercise bikes and trainers that we currently recommend and validated the current prices for these bikes at the merchants that we recommend.
Although the exercise bikes that we recommend are excellent choices, unfortunately, there are currently not a large number of exercise bikes listed on the site for comparison. We do intend to be upgrading the exercise bike section of this site quite extensively in the next few months (in addition to the regular bike, bike product and bike trails information on this site) so if you are looking for fitness equipment (exercise bikes, trainers, etc.) stay tuned and check back soon.
