How effective are exercise bikes in achieving weight loss?

How effective are exercise bikes in achieving weight loss? I have just aquired an exercise bicycle from a friend of mine who was moving that didn%26#039;t wish to take it with her.
When I go to the gym (rarely) I usually use the elliptical machine, but since I have this bike now, I would much rather stay at home and workout.
My question is for those of you who ride exercise bikes, is it really just as effective as other machines at weight loss, or will I have to ride at longer intervals to achieve any type of results?

stationary bikes are awesome for weight loss. Ever hear of spinning? That burngs nearly 800-1200 calories an hour. And you can do it now in your own home. Look up on google some spinning tips, and you%26#039;ll be on your way to slimming down fast!! I have heard that bikes are the best way to lose weight..you%26#039;re working out your abs, thighs, calves, butt. Do some arm movements while you%26#039;re riding, and you%26#039;ll slim down in no time.
