Exercising bicycles are good for abdominal muscles toning. If your have a rowing option along with it, it will be an added advantage.

Exercise bikes are good for getting thr legs in shape. But for complete body fitness and shape, using the treadmill or a cross trainer is a better option.

they put almost all the muscle groups in your body into use.. especially those of lower back and hips.. they are very effective in getting a shape... but i advise you to mix it up with some stretching exercises...

For people who find it hard to get time / have space to walk / cycle around exercise bikes are a good option. They are effective but nothing beats outdoor exercises as there are additional factors like air and sunshine which contribute to the overall health.

Yes they are effective and good for getting in shape and weight loss it also tones up your muscles of legs and abdomen.it is really a good exercise for burning body fat.

They're good to start a workout to losen yourself up, and good for weight maintanence.

For weight loss, try a more weight-bearing exercise, though, like walking, stair-climbing, or elliptical machines. Calories are used more quickly because you're using more muscles and expanding more calories just to stablize your bodyweight, let alone the actual motion of the exercise.

PS: strength training REALLY helps to burn body fat.
