    I have a bike and I like using it when I watch tv. I prefer running outside to using a treadmill.

    I have a bike but am thinking about getting a treadmill. I like the bike and I use it as a kind of cheat -- when I wanna read a book I make myself do so while pedaling, so I am sure I am not getting the full benefit! I wanna do the same with a treadmill -- make myself walk if I want to watch something. I think I will still use the bike even if I also get a treadmill though . . .

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the bike leaves me with a sore butt, although it is temporary!

    I have a stationary bike that I use daily. I really like using it as I can read on my iPad or play games while pedaling. I've been thinking abut getting an elliptical machine to get a different workout.

    the treadmill's never beckoned me, and I loathe the stationary bike, it just feels like such a task (and I do really like the elliptical so it's not that I hate all cardio machines).

    I'd rather walk and cycle outside as long as it's not raining or too icy to do so.
