Exercise Bikes vs. Treadmills???

Which should I get?

Price range from $150-$400.

I am looking to which would burn more calories, safety concerns (falling off of the machine, spraining your leg, etc.) and which would be better for my health, and also the issue with how much space the machine would take up in my home.

I am 5'10, around 180 pounds btw.

I was thinking of using the machine every morning for 1 hr or so. Anything else I should know?

you ever think of getting an eliptical. kind of the same motion of the bike and same needs and if not more of what your looking for.I pesonally think you get more of a work out on that

Thanks! I use the eliptical and I find it to be a cross between the bike and treadmill! Good luck! Report It

I prefer a treadmill. The bike hurts my butt.

exercise bike is better for your knees, both burn about the same calories, depending on your intensity.

It depends which one you like better...bike riding or running..to be committed to it you need to find a tecnique you enjoy so you will want to do it more nad stick with it

IF you are 5'10 and 180 you sould thin but I have a bike and treadmill. I like the treadmill but its makes too much noise to walk & watch TV the bike is best in the a.m. to ride & watch the news.

Depends on which you think you would enjoy more?
Are you going to run on the treadmill? If so, it would burn more calories, if not, a bike would.

I plan on getting a bike, because it's something I could do instead of sitting and watching tv, in addition to what I already do. A treadmill would be too loud for that. Plus I stand all day :P

treadmill, as its weight bearing and your not sitting on your bum....
