    I have no idea... but you might get a better answer in the 'Health, Beauty and Fashion' forum.

    exercise bikes have belts, spinning bikes have brake pads (more like a normal bike)

    Some also have chains and others are direct drive using either friction from a block or electromagnet.

    That about covers all of 'em.

    Get a real bike then the question is moot and it serves a purpose (apart from being a clothes hanger!)
