Thank you Chris. I am also very SHORT, so your advice is much appreciated. I will go to our local gym and maybe see how low their spinning bikes can go to see if it will work for me.

Both me and my husband will have to use the same trainer, and we don't want to have to keep on changing bikes with the trainer. With a spinning bike, there is no wear and tear on the tires of our bicycles and we can just get on and go. Any feedback regarding my original question? I do appreciate your opinions though. We have given this much thought, but are just clueless regarding makes and after sale service in South Africa with spinning bikes

Hi. We would like to purchase a spinning bike. We live in Bethlehem, hence it is just too cold to cycle in the mornings before work. My husband wants to train for the 7weekspoort mtb race end of September. I just want to get some excersize and maybe get more fit. There are so many different brands of spinning bikes available in SA. Most of them don't have any reviews. Where do we start? I read a heavier flywheel is more realistic and compares best to actual cycling. Then there is spinning bikes working with a chain compared to a belt system. Do you get replacement belts available in SA? So many questions, I don't know where to start. Please help
