  1. Hi Im thinking of buying an exercise bike and was wondering
    what the difference between magnetic and flywheel are? I
    assume its all to do with the way the resistance is applied
    to the pedals. Generally speaking, if there is not a lot of
    difference between them, which one is quieter? (more wife
    friendly) BoB

    Mag trainers are very quiet, reliable and relatively
    inexpensive.

    OK, thanks for that, I thought so just wanted to make sure.
    Shopping tomorrow 🙂

  4. No comparison, mag-resistance is by far better. Besides, if
    it's a nice bike it will be powered when you pedal.
