In cycling as in life, there will always be new hills to climb and new challenges to face. If you continue to cycle and actively pursue fitness, then strength, awareness, and balance will surely be yours, said "Johnny G" Goldberg, a former endurance cyclist who invented the sport of indoor cycling in the 1980s.
Keiser M3 Indoor Cycle
The Keiser M3 Indoor Cycle's 85-lb. weight is concentrated in the steel base to give it the sturdiness and durability serious cyclists demand.

The M3's computer indicates your heart rate, revolutions per minute, cadence, watts, calories expended, gear, distance and time. The seat adjusts up and down, forward and back, while the handlebars can be raised and lowered for comfort as well. The Keiser M3 Indoor Cycle comes with a three-year warranty. It retails for $1,500 as of early 2011.
