How far is a good distance to ride on an exercise bike?

I have a standard exercise bike, and I'm just wondering what a good distance in terms on kms would be? I've been doing 20kms and it takes me about 30 minutes.. is this good? Which burns about 500 calories or more. I just don't know whether this is good for a stationary bike in terms of calories etc... And I need to know so I can lose some weight! x
Answer:

gelly It is not about distance for good cardio health, it is time. Your minimum as a good cardio exercise is one hour of intense workout. You should spin at a rate of 70+ rpm, with MODERATE pedal pressure. Do not pedal at low spin rates with too much pressure. Soccerref

Exercise bikes are meant to be stationary. If you are covering ground on your exercise bike it is most likely broken and in need of repair.

Go by time on an exercise bike I always do 30-60 min. Take your time to warm up. I do it in three 3 min steps where I increase to the next gear on my trainer. What you eat is more important then how long you exercise.
