Spinning Bikes are usually manual, run on a fly wheel system which provides momentum for the pedals; they are sturdier and allow you to ride while standing on the pedals. Fitness centers often conduct spinning classes which are done to music and stimulate different situations such as riding up hills sprints and interval training.  This can also be done at home but require self motivation which can often be achieved with a good selection of music.  Recumbent bikes are the same as normal exercise bike where they would be available in manual and computerized but the difference is rider is positioned in a more reclined position which some people feel more comfortable. Recumbent Bikes are suitable for people of all ages.
