While a Marcy recumbent exercise bike will not cost a lot of money, it will give you all the basic features you need for an effective, calorie burning workout. For example, consider one of the brand's bestsellers.

The Marcy PL43231 exercise bike uses advanced magnetic technology to deliver a smooth transition between eight different levels of resistance. While there are bikes that have much wider range of resistance, this is more than enough for most people looking to increase their level of fitness or lose weight.

The console is by far not the largest on the market, but it delivers all the basic readouts including calories burned, distance, time, and speed. Again, there are bikes that give more feedback but most users will not need any further than this information.
