Another great thing about cycling as it relates to weight loss is that maximum fat burning occurs at typical to fast recreational speeds (14 to 18 mph)…a range that virtually anyone can attain for long enough periods of time to maximize weight loss.

As for me, I rely on cycling to address dual health goals that go hand in hand: weight loss and lowering my blood pressure. I started on BP pills about two years ago and the doc mentioned that he knows of people who eliminated the need for BP meds via cycling…so for me, it's a no brainer.
