Cycling can be pricey to get into, but once you have a bike and the gear you need, there's very little ongoing cost. Texas also might not be the best place to cycle due to the heat, but your season could probably run well into December and start in late February, maybe. Get a smart trainer and ride indoors if it gets too hot (or cold). I wish I had started cycling on my 40's instead of waiting until I was 58.

Cycling does indeed work. For me, riding and racing bicycles for many years kept me in top shape. I don’t race anymore and don’t ride daily any longer either (I’m aging out). I still keep trim by walking and some riding.
The bottom line is one needs to figure out how many calories your body needs to stay the same, then consume fewer calories. If you exercise less, you need to eat less.
