Getting the most out of a spinning bike

I've just picked up an Iron Man spinning bike free of charge from my Dad and wanted to know how to get the most out of it?

I'm guessing using a Heart Rate monitor and MPH counter I can work out an interval session.

I was also wondering if a Sufferfest film would pass the time and give me that extra push?

I do a mix of road/mtb cycling and thought I could use the spinning bike in winter when I'm short on time during week days.

Does anyone use a spinning bike? If so, any tips?
