It's not just a matter of consuming more calcium, it's encouraging and calcium to be absorbed and to be incorporated into bone.
Higher impact and high strength (eg, jogging and weights) encourage the building of bone, whereas lower impacts activitites such as cycling don't stress the bone so much and don't have as much of an effect.
Although I do like that you are an advocate of cross training.
Thinking about it now, low impact sports for overweight people may be the equivalent of higher impact sports for a more average weighted person, simply becuase there is more weight behind the movement. These are just my thoughts and I am not sure if they have been proven.
And also, cycling is better than nothing!
