I go running on the weekends and most mornings but I'm looking in to buying something I can do on rainy days or late nights. What are everyones thoughts should I purchase a Recumbant Bike or Eliptical..which one burns more calories and is more effective.. any thoughts on whats the better workout over all ?

I sweat more on the elliptical, and it's more engaging than a bicycle (which also hurts my butt when I bike for too long)!

Elliptical by far is better for you. It burns more calories and your entire body is engaged in the exercise. Whereas on a stationary bike your legs are really the only thing moving and it doesn't burn nearly as many calories as the elliptical.
