I'm looking to get one and was looking for suggestions. Are the cheapo wal-mart cycles any good? I don't want to spend a whole lot because I really only want to use it because I can't run right now. Is there any difference in the workout if you get a recumbant vs. standard?

If you have a bike at home, you might do better buying a trainer. A low end model cost's around 80-90 dollars

I do, and I've thought about a trainer. Besides maybe price, what would be the difference?

To me, the trainer mimics cycling (mechanics, etc.) more than an exercise bike.
Plus the trainer itself is a smaller piece of equipment
