It's completely unrealistic to expect any results yet.
Put on several hundred hundred miles and then you might notice something.
You may well, like me and others here, stay the same weight but wind up being shaped very differently....a shape you like! You might want to look at biking as a way to get fit instead of just for losing weight.
Good point! Not to discount what you've accomplished thus far, but the calories you've expended riding for the past 10 days just isn't enough to lead to much weight loss. Remember that to lose a pound you need a 3500 calorie deficit. And the increase you're seeing on the scale might be nothing more than some water weight.
But keep at it and you'll hopefully see some progress!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
