Make sure to add stellar cocktails and dessert (the Rubbish Apple Pie a la Mode won the heart of Gordon Ramsay, and we’re sure it will you, too). And of course, having your own exercise bike means there’s no line to use it, or expensive gym membership.

With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. Cycling has a ton of health benefits – as well as torching calories and boosting heart health, a study published in the journal Aging Cell (opens in new tab) found regular riding could hold back the effects of aging and keep your immune system young. Its various rooms have hosted interesting live music acts over the years, but this year it has really filled a bit of a void created by music rooms which switched gears or shuttered doors during COVID’s isolation period.

The ergonomic seat makes it really comfortable to ride, and while it’s fairly simplistic you can still enjoy a challenging workout without spending a fortune. Emanuel and The Secret Group is as vital a community hub as any in town.

As with many of the cheaper exercise bikes, it only has a small LCD screen and it doesn’t come with any workouts, so we recommend finding free online classes over on YouTube or via the iFit or Peloton app.  Despite the low cost, the lightweight bike has a heavy steel frame and a surprisingly quiet 35lb friction resistance flywheel. The bike’s wide base adds stability and the front-loaded transport wheels mean you can easily stow it away after use.

A really good weight flywheel means it’s a lovely smooth ride.” Negative reviews cited issues with bolts and brackets coming loose after a few months, and the bike “starting to creak and squeak horrendously”.   2.

The pedals were comfortable, really easy to adjust and kept our feet secure, especially during standing rides.  The bike doesn’t have a cadence tracker, which means you can’t tell what resistance you’re at, so you have to guess your intensity during workouts. It’s also lacking a screen, device holder or any preset workouts – in fact, the only accessory is a water bottle holder. You can follow online classes on the Sunny website and YouTube channel, but they are slightly lackluster.

Our other gripe is that the seat is quite uncomfortable, especially during longer rides. If you find it an issue, too, you could swap it for a more cushioned seat or even invest in a thick seat cover or padded cycling shorts.

Others complained about the lack of resistance or cadence checker, but said over time they worked out the level of intensity they were at and wasn’t an issue. One reviewer pointed out that the manufacturer’s warranty was not valid in Canada, so be wary of this, Canadians! 3.

Not only does it come in a fetching black and red design, it mimics Peloton's set-up with its on-demand classes via the Echelon app (which costs an additional $11.99 - $39.99 per month). There's no screen on the bike, which is probably why it's considerably cheaper than the Peloton.

Instead, you'll have to plug into classes via a tablet or smartphone.   You don't technically need the app to enjoy the bike, so there's no need to splash out on monthly membership fees.

Even without the app, the bike connects via Bluetooth and allows you to track the usual metrics (think calories, cadence, distance and duration.) It's sturdy, well-designed and good value. Our only real gripe is that the resistance levels can feel under-sensitive, so you need to give the dial a good twist to feel like you've gone up a level.  User reviewsThe bike has netted a respectable 4. 5 out of five stars on Amazon.

It has a high max weight capacity of 330lbs and a ‘whisper quiet’ belt drive system that you’d usually expect to find on a more expensive machine. The Vigbody has a basic LCD monitor that’s simple to use and easy to read, tracking all core metrics from time, distance, speed and calories burned. A downside is the bike only has a phone holder and nowhere to put a tablet.

But you can easily buy a tablet holder to attach to the handlebars for around $15.  This is a great exercise bike for beginners and it provides a smooth and quiet ride. While we found the seat was rather uncomfortable, this is something you can easily change.

The Bluetooth connectivity means you can pair it with other apps, too. It’s not ideal for taller users, and the resistance range is rather poor.

To get a reasonable amount of resistance you have to turn the knob all the way. That said, if you prefer gentler exercise on a bike and you're a complete beginner, this cheap model could be a good fit.  User reviewsThere are limited reviews of the Urevo Kardio T1 online, but users on YouTube praised it for being “a super quiet ride” and for being easy to adjust the seat and handlebars.

In fact this is probably its biggest pull, and it will appeal to people short on space. It has a manual magnetic resistance system, which you adjust by turning the dial. There are eight resistance levels in total, so while it’s not that inspiring for seasoned cyclists, it’s enough to work up a sweat and be challenging for low impact training.

While it’s lacking any real features, including a bottle holder or somewhere to put your tablet or phone, if you want a bike that does a basic job without taking up too much space, this is a good choice. It's incredibly cheap, too, often retailing for less than $100.  Reviews on the Xterra Fitness website praise the bike for being sturdy, lightweight and easy to transport on the rollers. Negative reviews cited issues with the monitor giving inaccurate metrics (distance and calories burned) and the seat being uncomfortable.

How we test the best budget exercise bikesWe test budget exercise bikes by putting them through their paces. We complete a sprint interval session on each model and a lengthy recovery ride, to see how well they hold up under pressure. We then also rank each bike for its design, features, performance and value for money.

What should I look for in an exercise bike?The best budget exercise bikes often come without a screen (you’ll find these on more expensive machines) but you can use your smartphone or a tablet to access free and paid-for virtual classes. One of the first things to consider is size and space.

If you live in an apartment block or shared accommodation, you might want to opt for one of the more slimline models, or a foldable bike. If you are particularly tall or short you will also want to check if you can adjust the seat and handlebar height.

Budget exercise bikes often have a lower weight capacity, so take this into account too if you are on the larger side. How noisy is the bike? You can read online reviews to find out if the bike you have your eye on is loud or quiet.

Also think about resistance levels – beginners will probably be happy with a manual system, whereas more dedicated riders might prefer an auto-resistance feature, more often found on expensive models. If you like group exercise, then you might want to consider a bike that comes with an app to stream live and on-demand workouts, like Peloton or iFit (subscription needed).

You can use these apps on your phone or tablet even if you don’t have an actual Peloton Bike, but you won’t be able to sync your metrics. Lastly, pedal type is important.

Toe cage ones work best with normal sneakers, while clip-in ones need special cycling shoes. Many exercise bikes have dual pedals, which are interchangeable. Once you’ve chosen the best budget exercise bike for you, make sure you read our handy guide on how to get the most out of your exercise bike (opens in new tab).
