Best Answer

Cycling is a very effective form of aerobic exercise. If done at a reasonably brisk speed, it is the most pleasant way to burn a lot of calories. It has the advantage of being low-impact, so it is better for the knees and ankles than running.

The disadvantages are that it is not a weight-bearing exercise, so it does not help maintain strong bones. Cyclists who do not engage in other sports or forms of exercise tend to have relatively weak core and upper body strength.
