bicycling is great exercise. It burns calories, works your legs and lungs as well as being great fun. You really should do some core work as well. IE sit ups, crunches, swim exercise for you lower back.
I have been riding a lot of paved bike trials and roads this summer. I am more of a fair weather rider, but to change this I have been hitting the dirt trials (deer paths) and have found it is a much better full body workout. Pushing up hills, dodging this and that, hopping stuff etc, gets your back and arms into it much more as well as standing and peddling seems to hit more/different muscles in my legs as well.
Don't let people tell you bicycling is for shit. IMO better than jogging since I have slight knee problems. cycling is a low impact exercise while jogging/running is not.
tl;dr bike more and more sit ups
