Cycling is not a great way to lose weight. I rode 950 miles in 9 days and lost only 1lb a day on average.
Cycling is a good way to increase fitness and is a great incentive to adopt a healthier lifestyle and diet that will allow for loss of weight.
One reason that I started cycling was that I didn't see fat cyclists on the road. Now there is at least one. But I am motivated to lose weight to improve my cycling and having lost 9lbs I finally (I hope) have passed the point of inertia on weight loss.
Oh and as someone told me, it is better to be fat and fit than thin and unfit
