Suggestions for an exercise bike?

[SkiMonday]

I'm looking to buy an exercise bike. Mainly so that, err, Mrs Monday can get some exercise but I'm likely to use it for cross training.

I'm not looking for a top of the range trainer but it needs to be practical. A bluetooth connection would probably be handy (maybe to display a virtual route or upload to Strava). Space isn't a problem.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I tried looking for a turbo trainer in the stricter part of lockdown and all but the more expensive models were out of stock. It was a similar story with exercise bikes, and real bikes too! Hope that has changed, but sorry I have no helpful advice (I've never used an exercise bike). Good luck though, cycling is definitely great cross training 😊

WattBike. Had mine for ages, expensive when purchased but bomb proof and all the data and connectivity you could wish for.

We have a Tacx Flux 2 Smart (a trainer you attach your own bike to). Works well. You can opt to use additional software with it e.g Zwift or not. Compatible with Strava.
