Stationary bike or Recumbent bike, which is better?

Which Stationary Bike models are more proper and better?

• I would like to buy an stationary Bike. There are different commersial types in my country mostly made by Taiwan or China like "Proteus", "Orchid", "Cross" and so on. which ones do you prefer to buy for me ( I am about 190 cm and 110 kg). Some models seems very similar but different in price. Which characters should I notice while I buy and which model is more proper while it is also more economic. Any response would be so much appreciated in advance

• Answer:

  Do you have a bicycle now? If so, I would recommend a stationary trainer rather than a stationary bike. Low cost trainers are quieter and fold up for conveneint storage unlike a big bulky stationary bike, and you can remove the bicycle (with the twist of a knob) and take the bike outside for _real_ riding.
