The stationary type. So what do I look for when I buy one (apart from the price). I need something that monitors heart rate OR pulse rate, BUT what else should I be looking for??
Do we get folding cycles out there for storage? (coz space is a bit of an issue)…
Do you have back or knee problems? If so, you might want to compare the fit and shape of the bicycle. A more recumbent bike (where you sit like a chair) will be easier on your back. A bike where you lean forward more will allow you to go faster and get a better workout but it undoubtedly puts more strain on the lower back. I personally prefer more recumbent bikes.
Also, the knee should never be straight, always bent even all the way around when you pedal. There's a good picture of this in the link below.
