I would think anytime you are actually moving your body and burning calories you would definitely lose weight.

Losing weight is simply burning more calories than you take in. Its that ez. So if you are using a excercise bike and you up your intake of food to go with it then you may not see results. Also you cant go by just the scale. If you are not accustomed to doing excercise then you will gain muscle in your legs from the bike, And muscle weighs in on the scale even heavier than fat. So if you are just using a scale to monitor your progress then dont be surprised if the scale starts to read that you are gaining weight. That muscle also burns more calories than fat so it will eat the fat. Good Luck and dont give up

As much as everyone else has said. Cycling is a wonderful and fun excerise that a tremendous fat burner and leg muscle builder. Remember however, if you eat more unhealthy foods it can offset the hardwork you've done with working out. So, eat correctly and enjoy cycling.
