If one of your goals on the bike is losing weight or changing your body composition while still getting stronger, fitter, and more confident, check out Bicycling’s member exclusive Cycling for Weight Loss program. It’s packed with expert guidance, structured workouts, smart nutrition advice, and practical strategies to help you burn fat, build sustainable habits, and make your riding support your health goals without sacrificing performance.
On this episode of The Bicycling Show About Bicycling, we get into the benefits of that program with one of its hosts, Adam Atkinson, who proves that cycling transformation doesn’t always begin with a strict plan. He’s an everyday rider who wanted to get a little better after being outsprinted by his sister. Adam explains how enjoyment, consistency, and gradual challenge helped him build momentum without ever treating the bike like punishment.
As our Cycling for Weight Loss program illustrates: If your goal is weight loss, better fitness, or feeling more capable on and off the bike, start by building a routine you will keep. Fuel your rides, ride often, and let strength, health, and body composition improve together. And Adam drives home the point that the scale matters less when the bigger win is creating a version of riding, and living, you can sustain.
