We're looking for an exercise bike that integrates with My Fitness Pal. Any suggestions?

    The integration doesn't have to be direct from the bike - you can go via an app like Strava or Garmin Connect for example.

    (Sorry no personal recommendation for recumbents as I dislike them.)

    Personally, I would do what @sijomial is talking about.

    Thanks. Why the dislike for recumbent... not vigorous enough?

    I'm a keen outdoor cyclist and my indoor bike training (winter mostly) is all about preparing myself for the roads and that's using conventional bikes.

    Although there are some people who are training with a defined purpose as opposed to just general exercising on recumbents they do seem to be in a very small minority, there's a lot of users who are just gently churning the pedals while watching TV and not really getting much fitness benefit from their time.
    Better than sofa surfing of course - but it's just not what I go to the gym for.

    You're not allowed to ride a 'bent outdoors unless your beard is long enough to store granola in.

    Or you're someone who is badass enough to say "screw unwritten rules" and ride with one anyways. She also gives zero words that begin with F and are very versatile in their use and vigorous exercise is not something that she is at all alien to.
