All things are equal except their weight.
Question: Do they lose weight at the same rate or different rates?
Not only was the question a trick question, but so was the set up... Is the same amount of exercise (cycling) in miles or time? If it was in time, then the smaller guy would get in more miles and maybe more calories burnt, but if it just in distance the heavier guy gets more calories burnt.
