Loose weight while bicycling

A recent article on Bicycling.com mentions some of the benefits of cycling. Among some of the positive effects of cycling are; weight loss, improved mood, muscle build up, less strain on your joints and ligaments than if you were running - and the best of all, while bicycling people do not feel so much that they're working out. It is all about fun.

Just spoke to a friend of mine who at the age of 50 had started collecting some extra weight. He described to me how he's lost 14 kg in 10 weeks as a result of bicycle training. Ok - he is a bit extreme since he cycles for about two hours a day on his road bike, and does weight training a couple of times a week.

We figured it out that he lost the equivalent of the weight of a Mars bar chocholate each day since January 1 this year.
