Don't let stormy weather keep you from training. Get one of these discounted exercise bikes right now and never miss a beat.

With spring now in full swing, there will be times when the weather is too severe to be out riding if we're going by the recent slate of thunderstorms and tornadoes nationwide. When those instances occur, you'll still want a way to keep training, albeit in the comfort of your own home. That's when having an exercise bike at your disposal is especially handy.

The thing is, stationary bikes can get quite pricey. Peloton bikes, for example, can go for upwards of $3,000. But a few of our favorites are on sale right now, helping you save money on high-quality exercise bikes. And while we won't say that all of the ones listed below qualify as "affordable," most of them aren't too pricey, on sale for $200-$300.

Don't let spotty weather get you down this spring, especially when it comes to training. Shop discounted exercise bikes below to keep your momentum rolling, rain or shine.

For 26 percent off, you can score this exercise bike—that we rated as having the smoothest pedal stroke—at 26 percent off.

This exercise bike has a particularly hefty flywheel, clocking in at 49 pounds, that both contributes to how nicely it rides and gives you some serious resistance to train against. It also has an adjustable handlebar and seat, as well as a belt drive allowing for a relatively quiet ride at home.

This editor-favorite affordable exercise bike just got even more economical, thanks to Amazon's 19-percent-off discount. With its belt-drive, built-in water bottle holder, adjustable handlebar and seat, 35-pound flywheel, and a monitor that shows your metrics, this exercise bike is ready to help you train on days when jumping on your bike just isn't feasible.

Though it doesn't exactly mimic riding a real bike, a recumbent bike is a great option for recovery rides and/or if you need a low-impact option, as our senior health and fitness editor Donna Raskin discovered. We've previously recommended this particular model, and now it's on sale for 12 percent off, so you can save some money on this already pretty affordable recumbent bike.

It has an adjustable seat, a pretty simple monitor for tracking standard metrics, a heart rate monitor, a spot to easily place your phone, and a magnetic resistance system that has up to eight levels.

For an exercise bike you can incorporate into your workday, look no further than the FlexiSpot desk bike. Popular Mechanics' commerce editor Kevin Cortez reviewed this bike and liked it for many reasons, including its effortless assembly, the midday energy boost it provides, and the fact that it can also function as a standing desk in between rides. Plus, right now Amazon is offering a $90 clip coupon on this desk bike, so you can save while adding some cardio to your workday.

One of our favorite stationary bikes, we rated this model as particularly great for those who like spin bikes. It's currently 24 percent off at Dick's Sporting Goods, saving you $300. This exercise bike has a weight holder in the front, an adjustable seat, an LCD monitor, and a complimentary JRNY subscription for a year, where you can access workout videos, virtual coaching, paths from all over the world, and more.
