What are benefits of an indoor exercise bike and a outdoor exercise bike?

The exercise bike will have a resistance knob.
I usually use an elliptical to exercise. . .so this a change. What ar the physical benefits of cycling? I would love to have an outdoor bike but have to save for one, which will take a long while. Advice please.

What are the health benefits as well? Will it help lose weight? What parts of the body other than the legs does cycling help tone, etc?

Indoor - weather not important. Less dangerous than road. Better air quality. Short bursts possible. More private. Choose when to apply resistance. Can do something else as well, eg watch TV.
Outdoor - Gets you out of the house. Cycling in country should have better air quality. See more scenery.

Indoor bike: Weather is no object, you can watch TV or read when biking to help the time go by. It is exercise, which is always a good thing.

Outdoor bike: You'll likely get a better workout, have a change of scenery as you ride around, requires more skill/attention to operate, also doubles as alternate transportation (which is a good thing with gas prices being what they are).
