I just want something that is quiet and good (that will last). I've been looking at "SB700 Bike Light Commercial by SOLE Fitness" but just want to see if anyone else knew of better ones? Thanks in advance!

In general, Preocor makes the best cardiovascular equipment. Cybex and Octane are pretty good too. I have had a Tectrix (taken over by Cybex since) for about 14 years with very little maintenance.

Answer
As often as you can, as hard as you can, as long as you can.
It depends on what your overall fitness goal is.
If you're just looking to burn calories, then the more you do it, the more calories you burn, the more weight you lose.
If you're looking to replace road riding and build up endurance, then it's probably better to do it as long as you can before you get winded. But personally, I don't think this is really effective, because there is no way I'm going to sit on a spin trainer for 2-3 hours straight.
If you're looking to stress your legs and increase muscle mass, then doing some all out intervals for 40-60 minutes 3-4 times a week should be good. In this case, you should feel some significant soreness the following day afterwards. Otherwise, you're not going to stress your muscles enough to encourage growth.
