Is riding a bike considered exercise?

Answer 1

It's all about how hard and long you go at it. You can pootle along on a bicycle doing nothing much for a few minutes, or you can hit it hard and long and get a great workout.

Biking is an excellent way to get your cardio. It also helps to tone your legs and your abdominals. It can also be relaxing after work or school. Biking in the morning will also help your boost your metabolism and it is great way to start your day.

Answer 2

It all depends on how hard you ride. If you do it right it WILL help you reduce your weight and it will improve your cardio health. If you have knee problems it can cause some discomfort. You may have a problem with the seat. That is typically the reason most people give up on bicycles as an exercise form. There are some excellent seats available, but you'll need to find out which works for you.
