I see the elliptical...I see the bike...not the combo.  I assume it burns more than the bike, but less then the regular elliptical since you are sitting and aren't using your wieght as resistance.  If I am missing something, I am sorry, but I can't find it!

I just joined the gym a month ago and the trainer I saw told me that the elliptical burns exactly twice as many calories as the treadmill.  So I did the treadmill yesterday for 20 minutes and burned 212 calories, so the elliptical would've burned 212 in 10 minutes!  Hope this helps....
dude!  Even if it is an elliptical bike?  I am sitting and pedaling...it is a little different. 
When I go on the elliptical for 10 minutes I burn 100 cals - so it is about 1 cal a minute...but what is the elliptical bike? is that different?
it is an excersize bike but it has the "ski pole" handles like the elliptical machine.  So you pedal but move your arms like the elliptical.
