As in quality and price?
Answer
for a spinner, I have had some great workouts on a johnny G spinner.
trainers- if you have a bike and want to strap it to a trainer, I reccommend a cycleops fluid trainer.
for a gym-like excercise bike, try testing out a lifecycle bike, they aren't bad, but you don't get much in road simulation.
good luck.

How to make a bike pedal generator?
blagh8
I need to know how I can modify an existing exercise bike into an electrical generator in the most cost effective method.
The exercise bikes I'm kind of referring to looks like this http://us.home.lifefitness.com/content.cfm/club-series-recumbent-lifecycle-exercise-bike
Answer
A belt or pulley must run from the bike to the generator. Good luck. Lance Armstrong would have trouble cranking out the watts to watch TV while he peddled, huh?
If you wanted to go green it might be better to recycle (pardon the pun...ha!) and old bike. All the gearing, wheel,crank etc would already be exposed in stead of taking your "exercise bike" apart-see? A basic generator is available on line or at a salvage yard. Take the tireoff of the rear wheel, run the belt to the pulley end of the generator run the wires and knock yourself out.
Honestly it might be a fun hobby or a good example for the kids BUT I've seen people struggle to keep a light bulb going...about 60 watts from the info I get.
