I think they work good. I think actually going out and bike riding is a MUCH better workout..especially downhill and on mountains cause it involves your whole body...Also helps build your calves and quads.

Zalxder-
You think this or you have some kind of study to back it up? I have never believed that bodyfat could be spot reduced.

Dear Zal. No.
I prefer the bike actually, as it doesn't take a toll on my knees and feet.

I like to ride my 20 inch bike, and do a little freestyle when I have time. Riding up hills on that thing will work your legs like a mofo.

I love my bike. It's the best. I ride outdoors. At the gym, I like the elyptical - - I think that's what it's called. The thing that looks like it's skis kinda - - you guy's know what I mean. I hope.

I used to ride bike all the time because I really hate running. I DO run, I CAN run, but a stint in the army kinda ruined my knees and ankles (YOU run around in full combat gear with a ruck and rifle and see if your knees don't get messed up!!).
However, I recently tried those elliptical trainers that the gyms have these days (they look like a StairMaster and a Nordic Track had offspring together...)
I find it to be a great workout, I can get my heart rate up and keep it there with no pain for a good 45 min session.

i think bikes are great. Just remember to keep the intensity up. I also read an article that said riding a bike was the best possible excersize for abs. Go figure.

I used to use it as a quick warmup before running. Not bad, but if you CAN, by all means RUN!

If it doesn't hurt, you're not trying hard enough.
