I am with trillianjedi 110 %. Using a real bike as a main transportation vehicle has many advantages else than keeping you fit. Highly recommended for urban ereas. Exercicing is a necessity, so is commuting. In many cases, it's a perfect match.

Since I pedal less than 30 minutes a day for transportation purposes, and barely during winters, I use a stepper for cardio at work and at home.

One good trick for discipline is to do it watching TV news. This routine makes it less likely the gizmo will turn into a dust collector.
