I live in a place where winter is hell, so I use an indoor bike.

Typically a few miles a day on high resistance helps a lot

What about summer though?

I also use an indoor exericse bike which I have a windows tablet strapped to the handlebars so I can watch videos and listen to music while exercising otherwise it gets too boring. I started off at friction 1, moved quickly up to 4 or 5 and I'm now on 14 many months later. I'm unsure if its all down to my greater leg strength or just the exercise bike wearing out. 

I'll typically bike outside to relax and not to do any sort of extreme exercise. My area is quite beautiful (well, most of the areas around the Great Lakes are), so sometimes going slow and enjoying life is rather satisfying.
