Another consideration is budget.  Some of the top brands above might not fit in your budget, so you can cross them off your list right away.

This should help you choose the exercise bike reviews that cover the upright, recumbent and indoor cycling bikes that fit your budget.  

If you can stretch it a little it's worth looking at the higher end bikes, because you typically get more features, capabilities and durability as you move into the upper price ranges.  But that's not say you can't get a killer machine under $1000.

Figure out how much you can spend, check out the specs, features and reviews of those models to see which one most appeals to you.  We can always help you narrow down your choices if you need.
