Stationary bike. A treadmill is really hard on your joints and can lead to injury a lot more easily.

Both are good for cardio, but I would recommend the bike, cause it is gentler on the knee joints than running on a treadmill.

Treadmill is better, but even better than treadmill is rowing, which uses both your upper and lower body. Studies have proven that more calories are burned during rowing exercises.
