Stationary bikes

Any recommendations for a stationary bike - under $500. And where are some good places to shop for them. I would like to see/try anything I buy, so buying sight unseen from Amazon doesn't really work.

I recently considered getting a Stationary bike, but decided to get a bike trainer instead, which uses my actual bike. It connects to a variety of apps, which make the experience far more fun and interactive than a stationary bike, as it automatically increases resistance as you go up hills and decreases resistance as you go down. You an also compete/interact with people all over the world.
