I've taught on both the Johnny G spinners & the Lemond bikes and I much prefer the spinners. The Lemond just didn't feel like the road. It's a lot more adjustable though, if that's important to you.
I'm definitely checking out the Keiser though. That sounds cool.To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

At my club we have both Spinners and Lemond bikes for class, far more of the Lemonds...I strongly dislike them. The Spinner has a much heavier flywheel and just feels closer to the road, even if I can't coast

We have Keiser spin bikes at my now former gym. They're smooth for sure, but they're not as adjustable as other brands. I always felt too stretched out on it. Plus, they had built-in power meters on them. Now, I'm sure some really like this, but I found it both distracting and discouraging. There were always people in class yaking about how much power they could generate. It was hard to tune it out. I have a spin bike at home that's more along the line of a Johnny G spinner. I really like it.

Indysteel, I am so glad the spinning bike has worked out for you! I am also quite happy with how my Gunnar feels on my new trainer - it is just as solid and stable as my spinning bike at the club and THAT was a surprise! I will put it off as long as I can, but I am happy that I've something that feels good to me. It would be nice if I could coast on the fluid trainer, but frankly, I am so used to not being able to do that in spinning class that it isn't a problem to me.
