Change
I have realized that I need to become more active, which will result in a whole liefstyle change.
I want to start riding my bike, and become more lean and fit. If I ride my bike for about 30-45 minutes, say a few times a week, at a pretty fast pace- will I burn a lot of calories?
What places on my body does riding my bike target, because I want to lose the fat on my stomach, and thighs. So, will biking help me with my goal, and will it help me get a flat stomach?
I am also eating very well, and incorporating crunches, and sit ups in my routine, as well as squats.

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
you burn 21 calories per mile on your bike. but it depends on what gear you have and such.
you will get in pretty good shape after doing that for awhile. it will help your thighs. crunches, sit ups, and squats pretty much cover the fat on your stomach.
if anything, you'll notice that you're loosing weight more in your stomach when you start excersising. then you'll loose it other places.
Eat around 1500 calories per day.
Good Luck and Remember : stay Motivated.

Bike riding will burn a lot of calories, if you just do it a few times a week. It'll help your abs, thighs, and glutes. It will help you et a flat stomach since it'll be burning fat from a cardiovascular stand point. Forgot to add that it flatens your stomach since your abs will be engaged when you're basically riding your bike.
No worries, it'll work out for you. Good luck with it and I hope this helps you. :)

bike riding works your legs and thighs mostly. it doesnt help your stomach that much. Riding your bike will also help with endurance and cardio, which is important to maintain a healthy heart and body. if you want to work your stomach, i would suggest crunches and take up pilates, which will help you build a strong core and make your body toned.
i hope this helps.

Yeah, that sounds pretty good to me. Cycling acts as a whole body burner in the way that it doesn't target a specific area, it does the whole body, just lik running, swimming etc does. The only thing i found with cycling is if you go too fast for that long you will eng up building big muscles in your quadricep area, so will end up with muscular legs. Don't go too fast and intense and you should be fine:) Apart from that your method seems all good (bar the fact you shouldn't do sit ups as they don't do anything apart from giving you back pain!).
Combine the biking (or running) with exercises like these:

and it should deff work out for you:)
As you are eating very well i don't need to comment on that!:)
Good luck!
