Answer
The other answers you've received are excellent, but let me add my two cents. I, like you, ride several miles a day. I started riding regularly 13 years ago on a $200 hybrid. I loved the bike but eventually felt like I deserved something a little nicer. So, a few years ago I purchase a $600 Performance brand bike. Again, a good (steel frame) bike. But now I've come to a point where I want to ride more intensely and farther; so last weekend I purchased a Trek Pilot 5.2.

All of this is a long-winded way of recommending that you get the best bike you can afford up front, because eventually you may want to go farther, longer, and faster!

I have an exercise question.?







So, I weigh 190 pounds and I am 5 feet and 5 inches tall. I recently bought an exercise bike and I bike 16 miles a day about 15.4mph. Am I going to be able lose weight?? I also watch what I eat.


Answer
Limit your biking to 30 - 45 minutes each time.

1 - 30 mins - body uses stored glycogen
30 - 45 mins - body uses fats
45 mins onwards - body uses muscles

for energy.
