    Another thing people seem to forget is that with an exercise bike you can stop whenever you want and be in a place of safety. Knee pain in the middle of the road? Yeah, no thanks.

      What fascinating about exercise bike is it train you indoor so you can take on outdoor long distance cycling. It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive and i hate conversation like this.

      Also bike isn’t only meant for exercise, you can go to the store or run errands with it if distance allow.

      No? If I am biking in a separated bike lane, I can stop and move over onto the sidewalk where I am not in anyone’s way. But IMO you should not be getting injured just trying to pedal a bike, maybe something like an ebike would reduce the physical excursion needed to pedal, reducing injury.
