Exercise bikes have been around since the middle 1980s. They were first introduced as indoor cycling. The overall concept initially was to provide winter training sessions for cyclists. The regular bike sits within a firmly constructed framework. Although the frame is heavy and sturdy, it also has been designed to offer a certain amount of mobility. The reason for this is that bikes can be placed in tandum or at random across the floor of the gymnasium offering flexibility.

There is a big wheel in the front and a flywheel which is adjustable. This gives a pressure or tension element as needed depending on your fitness level. All adjustments can be made through turning a knob at the side. There is a connection between the large wheel and pedals, the latter containing straps to hold the feet of the cyclists in place safely. The bar of the spin bike is normally shaped like the letter W so as to enable the cyclist to reposition his arms.
