If you like to ride outside then try a spin bike. I take spin classes but also have on at home. Mine is a LeMond. They list for $1,000 but you can pick up a floor model gor $800. Feels quite like a real road bike. All kinds of adjustments and you can add your own seat and pedals. They are great with music and you can ride in a variety of positions sitting or standing to hit your quads, hams, etc. Also good with some tension for long, fat burning rides.

I used to ride 20-50 miles at a times, 3 days a week in Florida. Moved to MI in January and took spin classes. The first time out on the road in the spring I averaged 2 mph faster on a 20 mile ride - with hills - than in Florida. Wow!
