I agree with Ronin.

Exercise is what you put into it. If you just go for a leisure 1 or 2 mile ride yes it is better than sitting on the couch but not much exercise. When I ride my average is 25 or so miles. I won't even put on my shoes for under 15 miles. I have many times riden 40 to 50 miles. I do it in well under 3 hours. I have averaged 18.5 MPH for the 2000+ miles I have riden this year. I am always pushing myself and try to keep my heart rate up for the entire ride. It definitly helps control the BS. Start off slow and build up. It is fun and good for you.
