A firebolt of a home exercise bike, the Wattbike Atom claims to be the 'smartest' indoor bike trainer. It's eerily silent (handy if you feel the need to train at an ungodly hour). The emphasis is on date and analysis, which gives serious cyclists the edge when it comes to performance. It's intuitive to use, and integrates easily with third party apps (a smart device, App or Android, is required to get started) The Atom comes with flat pedals as standard, but it has a standard pedal fitment so you can use your own pedals if desired.
