I've decided to ride my bike to stay trim aswell as eating healthier. How much cycling would you suggest i do like how ofton and how many miles. Do you have any experience? Have any idea how much i could lose?
Thankyou!!
 
I started riding after I sprained my ankle & couldn't run. Got hooked.
Start off slow. Do short distances. Increase them every coupla rides as your fitness improves. Bring a water bottle. Stay hydrated.
And it would benefit you to get a bike mag subscription for a year. In that time, you'd read about all the benefits, trix, things, to do & general bike knowledge.
There's a lot of social activity, too. Bike club's cater to all levels. There's benefit rides, getaways like ski mountains in the summer(lotta fun), week long rides where you can camp/motel, your stuff gets shipped along. Most every state has one.

As far as how many calories you'll burn, chk this site. Takes into account your weight, too.

3500 calories = 1 pound of fat.

Good luck! I'm going for a ride now, really!
 
i bike to the mall - 7 miles away. Good exercise, burns 500 calories, good tan.
