Default Weight training

Lance Armstrong is a great example.

The aerobic (cardio) exercise (bike, running, etc...) is BAD for muscle
gain, and it can alter your weight loss by *ONLY* 15% IF training so
much that you're literally *burning your muscles* (more than 2 hours of
intensive training per DAY). Do I have to stress even more that most of
the increased weight loss will be from muscle and not fat tissue?

Did I "hear" you right that biking is bad for muscle gain? Have you ever
seen the legs on cyclists? I have calf muscles that my weight-lifter son
would die for! He calls them "guns" as in "Where did you get those guns!"
Also, cycling exercises the shoulders and neck muscles--it must, because
those muscles get tired when I ride my bike. And hill climbing on a bike
will stress the quads like you wouldn't believe!

Don't believe me? Try it some time.
