what's a good stationary bike?

[Haggit]

I may be in the market soon and want to do some research into what's good.

Airdyne. Great for doing intervals. Will last forever. Look for a cheap one on craigslist.

[Adam Skillin]

Concur with the recommendation of airdyne.

I know nothing about bikes. What makes the airdyne preferable for intervals?

[Nick Klemetson]

There aren't set levels of resistance. The harder you pedal, the harder it gets, which is awesome.

Ahhh sweet, so for intervals you can just go as hard as you can and not have to worry about changing settings. That is pretty sweet. Thanks guys.

An airdyne is on "the List". The Mrs. has to make it happen if she really wants that new rottie pup.

Are any kind of Airdyne's ok?

Here are two for sale on craigslist within a reasonable distance of me but they look a lot different.
