We are already starting to make the dietary changes, we just need to do the exercise portion.
My brother‘s new bike will be here on the 12th. I already have my bike. I just have a couple quick questions. If I were to use cycling to lose weight, how far should I go each day? How hard should I exert myself? I’m also asking this for my brother.
If someone could give me some advice for losing weight by cycling, I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards,

bike - and walk also
improve nutrition - reduce calories / portions / fat … etc … whatever
if you and / or your brother are overweight - even relatively easy bike rides or walks will provide benefit … you can then increase duration / intensity in the future if desired
good luck !
