I workout throughout the weekday. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday are for stomach area, and Tuesday and Friday are for the arms. Saturday and Sunday each day i ride my bike ten miles regardless of the wind and being too cold or too hot. My questions is does riding my bike this much help my ultimate goal of getting a six pack by the time of the summer?
 
If it burns fat, and assuming you have big ab muscles that are just waiting for the fat to go away then yes. But biking doesn't really train your ab muscles.
 
ok so as a gym rat, really there are three steps to get six pack abs and they are in order of importance
1. change the way you see food, eat less, eat more often, eat healthier, if it calories from fat are greater than 10-15% of the total calories you should avoid it
2. cardio, and not this bullshit light jog for ten min crap, im talking 30 min a day 5 times a week work out a good sweat kind of cardio
3. ab exercise, at this point in the process the exercise is really just to get the abs to pop, its the first two that are all that maters,

as far as riding, too often people who ride arnt really getting the cardio they need, ie they go too easy, distance doesnt matter intensity does, try biking hills for thirty minutes
 
Riding a bike is mainly a cardiovascular exercise and has little to do with your stomach muscles. Many people cannot get a six pack due to there genetics. However you could lots and lots of sit-ups,crunches and reverse crunches to help lean down your stomach muscles. But on the other hand don't stop riding the bike, it will lean down your legs and hip area.
