It's awesome! It gives you a total body workout. Since the belly is a target area for you keep your abs sucked in while riding for a burning ab workout while riding!

I've seen some amazing changes in people that rode bikes to get in shape. One guy got so thin, I had a hard time recognizing him. I noticed he's a lot more popular with the women too.
For me it was running where I lost majority of my weight, but my body took a beating. I tried cycling and loved it, once I got used to the saddle. If you do long rides, take the extra time and money to get a proper fit on your bike, wear gloves and a helmet. It may look dorky, but if you ever see someone crash you'll think twice about not wearing one.

A bike is excellent, gets rid of saddlebags and tones legs
