Exercise Bikes are, as the only distance it clocks will be the distance you pedal rather than free wheeling on a bike. There's also no inertia to help you.Tread mills are probably the same as normal walking, only you don't need to worry about the weather.Yeah that bike is fine, its only when you want to mess about with hill gradients (i.e. turn up the braking grip on the free wheel) that you need those daft LCD things.

both are designed to give cardio work outs all though the treadmill puts a beating on the feet,legs and knees it is the best because it burns at the core, your body strechs and burn at the abs which is you core and the more you run the lungs increase expansion and heart pulls hard to pump, where as sitting in distained comfort on a bike moving the legs with no impact shock except to your butt till you start sweating and basically get tired of riding it before your even good and winded is doing nothing for weight loss other than your water retainment if your going to work out then do it right work it all............skipper
