Yes. It is a form of exercise, and exercise helps in a plan of weight loss. But regular use is required, and diet changes should be added to any plan to lose weight. (It's a "lifestyle" change.) Just riding the bike, even regularly, might not work if you're diet/lifestyle doesn't change.

∙ 14y agoThe best way to lose weight using a stationary bike is to use your heart rate, so either get a bike with a built in monitor or buy an off the shelf watch type monitor.
Typically you would then cycle for about 30-45 minutes 5 times a week at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate.
Cyling at around 60% of your max burns fat cells rather than carbohydrates for energy, although there are various arguements around this.

∙ 10y agoDepends on your age, gender, fitness level but foremost on how hard and for how long you hit it.
If you're just pootling around, nothing much will happen, even if you stay on it for hours.
If you go all out, but only for a minute, nothing much will happen even if you pedal yourself sick.
The general numbers are about 450-600 calories/hour, if you're working yourself winded and sweaty. Can be more if you're fit enough to do a higher sustained effort.

What is the a way to lose weight from your legs?
Simple answer: you can't. Spot training is a myth. To lose fat on your legs, you must lose it all over - this is achieved by a healthy diet and exercise (both cardio AND weight training), and there is nothing "short" about the time it takes to do this. If you are female, your legs will likely be the last place you lose fat from.
