Endurance cycling leads to atrophied muscles and weak bones. You lose a lot of calcium when you sweat, and your muscles can't grow when you sit on a bike saddle all day.

You need to engage in weight bearing and weight resistance exercises to maintain or increase muscle strength and bone density.

Just going for a walk (weight bearing) and doing push ups and sit ups is better for overall health than cycling for hours at a time.
