1. An exercise bike, comprising: a frame that is configured to allow a rider to ride in sitting and standing positions;a direct drive mechanism that couples a pedal assembly and a flywheel and that facilitates a smooth transition between sitting and standing positions;a set of handlebars that is coupled to the frame and that provides the rider with at least one hand position;a mechanism that provides resistance to the flywheel and that is manually adjustable by the rider to vary the pedaling resistance;a computer that is coupled to the stationary bike, that is configured to connect with the internet or other computer network to access a collection of exercise routines, wherein the exercise routines include instructions regarding cadence, pedaling resistance, and riding positions including sitting and standing positions, and that stores power exerted by the rider;a display that is coupled to the computer, that displays an exercise routine from the collection of exercise routines so that the rider is provided with instructions for the rider to manually adjust pedaling resistance, and instructions for the rider to vary cadence and riding positions including sitting and standing positions, thereby simulating an instructor-led exercise class, and that displays power exerted by the rider; andan input device that is coupled to the computer and that enables the rider to input data into the computer. 2. The exercise bike of claim 1, wherein the input device comprises: a menu button;a menu screen that is accessible by the menu button and that includes a selection regarding power exerted;a pair of directional arrows to scroll through the data on the menu screen; anda select button to choose a selection from the menu screen. 3. The exercise bike of claim 1, wherein the collection of exercise routines includes pre-programmed exercise routines. 4. The exercise bike device of claim 1, wherein the rider may log in to the computer with an identifier to identify himself or herself. 5. The exercise device of claim 4, wherein the exercise routines previously accessed by the rider are stored so as to be associated with the rider's identifier. 6. The exercise bike of claim 1, wherein the collection of exercise routines includes exercise routines saved by the rider. 7. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the display includes a target cadence display, the target cadence display revealing the appropriate cadence at which the rider should be pedaling. 8. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the display indicates the rider's actual cadence. 9. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the exercise bike is configured to receive heart rate information from heart rate sensors incorporated into the exercise bike or from a heart rate monitor worn by the rider and the display provides the rider's actual heart rate. 10. The exercise bike of claim 1, wherein the input device allows the rider to input information about himself or herself. 11. The exercise bike of claim 1, wherein the input device enables the rider to input data into the computer, including a desired power level to achieve during the exercise routine. 12. The exercise bike of claim 1, wherein the computer stores power exerted by the rider during prior workouts. 13. The exercise bike of claim 12, wherein the computer provides a history of the rider's power exerted during prior workouts. 14. An exercise bike, comprising: a frame that is configured to allow a rider to ride in sitting and standing positions;a direct drive mechanism that couples a pedal assembly and a flywheel and that facilitates a smooth transition between sitting and standing positions;a set of handlebars that is coupled to the frame and that provides the rider with at least one hand position;a mechanism that provides resistance to the flywheel and that is manually adjustable by the rider to vary the pedaling resistance;a mechanism that measures the rider's cadence;a computer that is coupled to the stationary bike, that is configured to connect with the internet or other computer network to access a collection of exercise routines, wherein the exercise routines include instructions regarding cadence, pedaling resistance, and riding positions including sitting and standing positions,wherein the computer is configured to measure the pedaling resistance and the rider's cadence and is configured to calculate power exerted by the rider based on the pedaling resistance and the rider's cadence; anda display that is coupled to the computer, that displays an exercise routine selected by the rider from the collection of exercise routines so that the rider is provided with instructions for the rider to manually adjust pedaling resistance and to vary cadence, and that displays power exerted by the rider. 15. The exercise bike of claim 14, wherein the computer is remotely located form the bike. 16. The exercise bike of claim 14, further comprising a heart rate monitor that measures the rider's heart rate. 17. The exercise bike of claim 14, wherein the computer is configured to instruct the rider to vary the pedaling resistance and cadence to achieve a desired power exerted level.
