Exercise Bikes

What's the consenus here on exercise bikes?

I used one on wet days last winter but I remember it seemed to do me absolutely no good. I've also read here about people cycling miles and miles on the things and then when they get out on the road they can barely do a couple of miles.

Last week I started using a different exercise bike on a few wet days. I just did 10 miles, about four nights during the week. Using my HRM everything seemed to be right and I'd got a good sweat going by the end of it. I went for a longer ride than I've ever done yesterday and I felt well able for it. I can't help feeling that those few miles on the bike each night kept legs in working order.

Any opinions?
