Thought Id share because when I started working out at almost 400 lbs, I was doing a 2.3 speed level with no incline barely for 10 minutes.

Stationay bike v.s. Real biking Which is better?
Just a thought. I bought a new bike last week and I have been loving riding it! However a thought crept in my mind and id like to ask how you feel about it?
