Answer#1: it will help slim u down but the bike can be a real de-motivator when it comes to exercising. when u exercise for an hour, u'll lose abt 240 calories but when u go running, u lose abt 1820 calories in that hour. it's why many ppl run when they want to lose weight. the exercise bike is mainly for toning the abs and arms and can bring muscles to ur legs.
Answer#2: Yes! The more exercise you do, the more calories you'll use up. Riding the exercise bike is great cardio. Ride gradually up to 30 minutes 3-4 days a week. And you can go longer. The longer the better! :)
Answer#3: It won't bulk you up. It will build lean muscle mass, but nothing bulky like weight training does. It will simple help tone your lower body.You want to get your heart rate to 125% of normal (multiply your resting heart rate by 2.25) and keep it there for at least 20 minutes. Also, you will want to do it 5 days a week instead of 3.
Answer#4: Yes, that will be PART of slimming you down, but you also need to eat healthy and do some other exercises. An exercise bike is an excellent thing, but it does have some of the same effects as squats and lunges, as well as different ones, because each exercise uses different muscles. As for the lunges and squats, they will only make your legs stronger, and you won't look bulky.
Answer#5: you won't get bulky at all by squats and lunges.. it helps you get toned.. and biking is good because its a cardio workout.. so yes it will slim you down and you will gain muscle.
