[net.bicycle] Exercycle

Does anyone out there know of a good deal on an exercise bike.  My sister
lives in Dallas, is a real fitness buff, and is in the market for a good
exercyle.  I recommended bike stores, checking gyms for used equipment, etc..
We`re talking original list of $400-$1000 or thereabouts.  She`s looked
at Monark and Precor, seems impressed with both, especially the latter.
Any offers/suggestions?

I would suggest that you convince her to get a real bike if she doesn't 
have one already.  In Dallas, you should be able to ride outdoors for a
large part of the year.  For the bad days, rollers or a turbo trainer
would provide a way to workout.  I think you can improve your health in
more than just the physical way by taking to a quiet country road.
