I am looking into getting a indoor spin bike. I need it to be quiet. Sturdy enough to stand up on. Any suggestions??!!

    Could just get a decent road bike and a trainer to ride indoors. You'll get to ride the bike outdoors at least as well. Worth the investment

    I've been using a Cyclops Magnus with my road bike. I've been pleased with it. I pair it with Zwift and it provides a pretty good workout.

    Agreed. Bike + trainer + Netflix. I'm looking forward to riding outside this week, now that it's warming up!

    I use a fluid trainer which has worked well for me for many years.

    However, if I were going to go with a spin bike (not a stationary bike, but an actual spin bike), I'd go with something near commercial quality.

    On a related note: I took my bike off the trainer today to go for a ride. The front wheel was hard to steer. I went ahead and rode it about 50 miles today, but it made for an interesting ride, especially on sharp turns. I took it apart and cleaned out the head tube when I got home. I think I took enough salt out of it to fill a salt shaker.

    Thanks everyone. I did get a spin bike. I'm loving it so far.
