when marathon training a few years ago i remember reading up on treadmills quite a bit and the general consensus i found was that you need about a 2% incline to get the similar workout to running outdoors. if 'they' can calibrate a treadmill to be fairly accurate, why not a stationary bike?
I didn't hear them say that they weren't worth their salt. I don't think anyone is going to say that training with power isn't beneficial whether it is inside or outside.
