Is biking a good workout? I'm poor and cant afford weights or going to the gym and all I have is a bike. Any advice/good workout plans using a bike?

it's good for cardio. You can't compare biking and lifting weights. But it will be pretty good for your heart and lungs AND you might get some decent leg muscles.
Running is far superior to biking

Well you can cycle for longer and it's better on your knees.

I started with biking for a number of months then picked up running. If you're not used to the pain of cardio biking will really get you in to it before running.
I didnt have a 'plan' for biking other than measure distances and try to up them every so often, i lived around a lot of woodland so the variety was great and really helped.
Only issue i had was when i started running was i picked up pirformis syndrome almost straight away which was a bitch to heal up. I think that was down to years of poor posture prior.

If you want to lose weight then you don't want to lift weights, you want to do cardio (biking and running).
Like this guy said Running can be really difficult to get into at first. It is very demanding on the heart and lungs, and so for the first week or two it can be incredibly difficult to run for even 15 minutes. But if you do it everyday, eventually it does get easier.
Biking can help ease you into running because biking is easier.
Personally, however, I say you start running. Today. Go outside and run for 2.5 minutes, then walk for 2.5 minutes. Repeat that three more times (for a total of twenty minutes) and do that every day for a week.
In terms of losing weight, you will also have to limit your calorie intake. I'm not too sure about that kind of stuff though.
