A spin bike, for one, is much more stripped down than a regular exercise bike. The latest models of exercise bikes can keep track of calories burned, heart rate, and measure distance and speed. They are also programmable so that you can simulate flat roads, hilly mountains, etc. Spin bikes rarely come with any of these gizmos. There is usually only one knob for resistance that is manually controlled. Turn the knob and you will feel as if you are "climbing" on the bike. beyond this spin bikes are often fixed gear which does not allow for freewheeling. If the pedals are moving the wheels is moving. Most exercise bikes have some type of freewheeling ability.

A stationary bike is like a real bicycle, but you don't go anywhere, and usually has only one wheel. Another name for this is 'exercise bike'. A normal bicycle can also be mounted on rollers to become a stationary bike. In a recumbent bike you're more leaned back with a seat like a chair and handles by your side. A recumbent is normally a road worthy machine, with either 2 or 3 wheels, but it can be mounted on stands, and rollers, and become a stationary bike for training indoors. A commercially available recumbent stationary bike has no wheels. It employs an internal friction mechanism to offer resistance to the rider.
An elliptical bicycle is a bicycle that is placed in your home and that stays stationary. A regular bicycle is only suited for outdoor use unless you buy specific equipment which then makes it become stationary in your home. If you already own a bicycle, then you may want to buy a rack to make it become stationary instead of splurging on an elliptical.
