Does having a heavier bike that is more work to ride a better workout than a bike that rides smooth as silk?
The health benefit comes from time and effort. If she spends less time and less effort, what's the point of a new bike? (except better fit, which is a big issue.)

I think Pooks has to decide, will a new bike make her get out longer and more often? That's what will aid her in burning calories.
