Exercise Bikes - Get Into Shape !

What better way to do shape up than an exercise bike?  You can jump on 10 minutes here...10 minutes there...which is what I try to do for a total of 20-30 minutes total for the day.  I can watch TV or listen to the iPod...sometimes I just like the quiet where I can de-stress from a crazy day at work or if I need a break from the kids, What could be easier or more flexible? 

The customer reviews are in and here are some of the top picks - varying in price range - for your review.

If you have been really good this year (or maybe even not so good), what better way to reward yourself (or maybe share with someone you love) than getting some exercise and taking care of yourself? 

Happy cycling!
