Is there a way to convert my 10 speed into a stationary exercise bike?

The easiest way to do this would be to remove your chain. This will let you pedal and not go anywhere. You will have to find a way to make the bike stationary so you can keep your balance while you're on it. I suggest removing the front tire and building a stand to prop the front tire frame in.  Make the stand level with the back tire so it will be exactly like riding a bike when you are on it.

stationary biking burns off calories at about 230 calories per hour.  it is a target exercise for your legs, buns and hips, usually done to develop muscles in your calf, trim and make your thighs leaner, firm up your butt (especially if you try doing some stand-ups while pedalling).  not only does it target your leg area, it also serves as another cardiovascular workout especially if paired with a treadmill or step workout.

My Mom recently had her knees worked on and they recommended a stationary bicycle. She found one in the local classifieds for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

use extra speed and use more energy at the start

I can take my bike off of sweet jumps

Cycling would probably be your best.

I have been cycling for about 15 years. The best way to train for cycling is to be a 'spinner' not a 'grinder'. A spinner is someone who is constantly pedaling. The key to being a spinner (i have found) is train your body/mind to downshift BEFORE you need it. If you are pedalling and you think that there is 'too much resistance' at the pedal (aka--that the pedal is getting hard to push) then you are downshifting too late. Lance Armstrong is a excellent example of a spinner. \nA grinder is someone who uses a higher gear that generates a lot of power, but generally that uses a lot more energy from pushing a higher gear.\n\nMy personal favorite way to keep my spinning technique up is to use a computer that measures your cadence. Normal bicycle computers mount a sensor on your front tire and fork. This measures how fast you go, but you could ride a down a mountain at 25 mph without pedalling much--and that would not necessarily be a good overall training indicator. A computer with cadence mounts on your crank and it measures crank rpm. If money is no object, you can get gear that measures the amount of watts you are producing. This can get pretty pricy though. \n\nHope this helps you out.\n\nIf you have any more questions (need gear recommendations or anything). Feel free to email me at whostolemymojo at yahoo . com\n\n=)\n\nOh and to answer your original question. I watch a lot of cycling on t.v. myself. Most riders maintain a constant (fairly constant) pedal cadence. This definitely varies when they are riding in a pack as drafting or obstacles (riders in front and/or on both sides of you) take place. You might have to coast/stop your cadence momentarily in those circumstances. Also, weather, terrain--down a steep mountain grade, curves, etc can affect you as well. Watch more racing and see how often most guys pedal. You will notice it is almost always non-stop when there is no outside factors hindering their progress. The key to cycling is to go as fast as you can while expending as little energy in the process--hence drafting is a great way to conserve energy for the sprint at the end of a race.\nUnfortunately, if you are training for triathlons, you will not have the good fortune of drafting--triathlons have many rules prohibiting drafting.\n\nGood luck!

I'm not sure that I'm familiar with that particular model of exercise bike.

any cardio exercises. I like rowing machines.

First, adjust the bike to your size. The saddle should be high enough so that when your foot is on the pedal at the bottom of the stroke your knee should be very slightly bent.\n\nSince it is tough to know how the resistance on your particular bike works I can't give you an exact setting. A good rule of thumb is to start each workout at 0 resistance, then gradually increase it throughout the exercise to a point where it is hard- but not impossible- to pedal through the whole rotation, maintaining the same cadence (pedals per minute) for the entire time. \n\nYou should be making about 60 revolutions of the pedals per minute- that is to say that you should determine this using either your left or right pedal since each knee goes up once per rotation. Get it? This is harder to explain than I thought.  \n\nStart to finish you should work out about 30 minutes, or 15 minutes after you start to sweat whichever is longer.\n\nIf your bike includes foot straps, use them. Using an exercise bike is not a "push-push" affair, instead you should be "push pull around and around", trying to power through the entire rotation.\n\nAs you become stronger, I suggest increasing cadence. You'll notice it'll take longer and longer from the time you start until the time you start to sweat so you may want to increase resistance sooner (and higher) as you go along.\n\nOne other thing... if you are doing this to lose weight, you'll likely notice a decrease in size first. Fat has twice the volume of muscle and is about half the weight, so as you add muscle and lose inches you might even see a temporary weight gain.\n\nBe sure to stay well hydrated wit WATER as you work out.\n\nGood Luck!

Yep, I think they may be right. Have you ever considered an Exercycle? You can ride away while your eating breakfast or watching T.V.!  Adds some nice muscle to your thighs and calves!

No. You'll need to do some weight bearing exercises too. Try looking into a good circuit workout for a "simple" way to combine aerobics and weights.

try trenz.com they have cool accesories

You need metric tools and bicycle parts.  Then, you need too follow the instructions that came with the bike.

Perhaps you are thinking of SR Suntour.  They make components for bikes but I don't think they make bikes.\n\nHere is the SR Suntour weblink:http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/standard.xml?vpID=113
