I am after an exercise bike so I can do 30-45 mins of training in the morning to help me lose some fat :)

My gym is open from 5am (its in a hotel) but I will never ever go that early, take to look to drive, get changed etc etc.
Also, I have a bike but I know I wont go for a ride on my bike. Too cold and too dark at the time of year!


I have seen this: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9032598.htm
£60 is cheap for one of these but is it worth it?
All I want to do is lose some fat / get sine fitness back / feel good, I aint training up to be a Bradley Wiggins :p


Anyone got a cheap one?

Obvs money is becomming a little short so I cant afford a £200+ one! lol


Opinions?

If you have a road bike then buy a home trainer

I would honestly suggest gaining that extra bit of motivation and attending the gym before work if it opens at 5am...

It will be a lot easier to promote fat loss by doing your cardio early in the morning before breakfast...

However if you insist on buying a bike you get what you pay for, so anything for the budget you're looking wont be great. I remember my grandad have a cheap one and it would just creak and generally felt unstable!

Might be better off looking for a decent second hand one on ebay as there are a few that are much better quality and you will be happier with..

I'd personally buy a spinning bike but a little more expensive depending on what you go for

That's exactly what I was going to suggest.
