Whats the difference between working out on Exercise Bike and treadmill?

My agenda is to lose weight:

1. If i lose same number of calories by working out on treadmill or exercise bike, which machine is better to lose weight.
2. Treadmill is more tiring for me. On treadmill i i get off after 350 to 400 calories. But on exercise bike i can stretch myself to about 750 to 880 calories
3. can anybody tell me whats the difference between working out on treadmill and exercise bike?
4. Which one is more effective in terms of losing weight?

you can lose weight either by using a treadmill or exercise, however it will take you longer hours on the exercise bike than the treadmill. they also differ in the parts of the body where your fat burns. treadmill will be working on more of your whole body whereas the bike will mainly be working on your legs. they are both effective but in terms of the amount of hours you put in, treadmill will be faster.
if i was in your shoes, i would use a combination of both :)

hi rahul...i agree with ninja girl...the tredmil is better...you walk on the tredmill,which is a complete workout...on the bike you can only do cardio,but nothing else...even i would love to use both to motivate myself to continuosly stay healthy...
