If you watch cycling competitions, you will know that being
lighter helps you climb hills. And as cycling season approaches once
again, you may be wondering how to lose a few pounds so that your own
cycling, especially hill-climbing, is easier.
While it would be nice to think that riding alone will make you lighter, this is not the case. Exercise for weight loss is not a direct cause and effect relationship. Of course, when you started riding your bike, you might have lost a few pounds easily, but it's quite possible you eventually gained them all back. It's a sad fact that training regularly will make you a fitter cyclist, but it will not necessarily lead to fat loss.
