Ok so I want to loose weight big time! I've started riding my bike the last couple of days for 40 min, I want my thighs and calves to get smaller, slimmer but toned! I don't want to get any bulky on my thighs so I look like a body builder, I want to be slim and fit but nice looking so is biking the right excersise? And does it help loose weight? Lastly how long should I bike a day for it to make a difference
Answer
"Spinning" is THE key to success. As long as you keep up a relatively high "cadence" in gears easy to use with moderate pedal pressure - you're legs will get toned - not bulked up. Read this...

Combine DIET and exercise. http://shine.yahoo.com/summer-living/diet-vs-exercise-matters-most-152700978.html No healthy diet - no weight loss.
I would highly suggest a bike computer with built in cadence counter. Ask at your local bike shop.

How do you turn of this damn cycling computer?

I brought a new blackburn delphi 4.0 cycling computer, doesn't say how to turn it off. it goes into sleep mode after about 30 mins, and then i left it for 3 hours and still doesn't. When i take out the batteries, the settings all re-set...
Any help please?
Answer
I have never seen a bike computer that you can turn off. The older ones I've had just stayed at the last setting they were on. I have a specialized computer that has been in my bike parts drawer that shows 0 MPH and the odometer setting when I took it off the bike 3 or 4 years ago. My new ones seem to just switch to a time clock until the wheel spins again and they wake up. As this one is a wireless it probably has an algorithm to check for radio signals so it is never really totally off. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are eating batteries every few months. I think most wireless computers are good for about a year with their batteries.
