Currently I have something like this.

Size wise it is great but it isn't up to much I feel I've outgrown it (or rather was always too small), pushing on max resistance isn't that difficult.

I want something that folds up small but is better quality. Budget £2-300.

All the small ones I can find look no better than the one I have.

It'd mean dragging my bike upstairs whenever I want to use it.

Carry your bike upstairs and stop being a tart.

Or...

Just a thought here...

You could demolish your house and rebuild it around a PS4 downstairs?

With that sort of budget I'd go for a turbo trainer and a secondhand bike.

Spare bike if needed too, then.

You could always stop fapping and using the exercise bike as an excuse for the noise.

I have 4 bikes, I don't need another. Regardless a bike will not fit in my room even if I were to take it up and down.

The bottom line is I'm lazy, however I have found doing an hour on the exercise bike while playing Destiny or whatever is easy is and if I can fold the bike in a 1'x2' space and getting it out is as simple as lifting it up, pulling a pin and replacing that pin, I can exercise play my game and get fitted with minimal effort.

You can all tell me better ways to do it whatever none have helped because I've already considered the other options. Still keep going if it makes you happy.
