Bicycling is listed among the top cardio exercises for fitness. Its good for our whole body but it specifically target our abdominal and lower body region. It is considered the best belly fat removing exercise. It strengthen legs and thighs muscles and burn fat around them..

I cycle primarily for enjoyment, any health benefits are a welcome addition but are not my primary motive.

If the primary goal is health benefits, then there are several other exercise types that are more efficient (time spent for benefit received), and less dangerous. e.g. indoor rowing, indoor cross-country ski, eliptical machine, etc.

If cycling is what gets you to exercise, then fine - but other exercises are better for many people.
