I have heard that stationary bicycle are good as a way for weight loss, is it true? If it is can it be used instead of running? I don't mind cycling 4 hours+.

The question of bulking up your legs...it will make your legs stronger and more formed but it is a myth that you need a specific type of exercise to lose weight in a specific spot of your body. You can have weight lifting exercises to help tone those muscles, but as far as fat is concerned...calories in need to be less than calories out...simple.
