Your body is placed in a semi reclining position and your legs angle out in front of you to reach the pedals instead of hanging down as on an upright bike. Upright exercise bikes are indoor bikes that have been around for years and are similar in form to traditional outdoor bikes. Dual Action Exercise Bikes impact upper or lower body, or both, using the resistance of alternating levers with handlebar grips. The fourth group consists of models designed for more serious indoor cycling spin training. They are pretty similar to regular racing bicycles. See the choice of exercise bikes
