Same hear, haven't been doing serious cardio for a while, but sroints outdoors was the best.
Can I ask what are some of the best sprint routines you guys do?
I started again this morning and haven't done any running since Tough Mudder previously but want to target fat loss more than fitness.
I did a 1km slow jog first then did 6 X 100 sprints and topped it off by 2 X steep hill sprints and finished with a slow jog (500m).

18kg for any bike is UBER heavy.... Downhill bikes these days are rarely this heavy... my All mountain bike is just just under 12kg, although it is a carbon frame, but i still consider it heavier than my previous HT XC bike.
More than a few do weigh around there but mostly mtb and roadsters
some of the downhill mtb are (15 - 19 kg) especially with full suspension
and if you want them to last
some of the retro yuppy/trendite pashley bikes are 14 - 22kg
I am pretty fat and lazy atm, i go on the treadmill for 15-25 mins maximum incline walk speed of 6 then throw in 3-4 30 sec to 1 min sprints (speed 12) 2-3 times a week but i should really step it up to everyday infact i will start that tomorow first thing when i get up glass of water on empty stomach do it everyday.
for afternoons i normally get on my hydrid road bike cycle around for 45 mins to hour, throw in 4-5 sprints on maximum speed settings which is 3 disc + 8 on speed (smallest sprocken) it feels like i am doing 50 kms per hour at full speed getting fatique with in 10-15 sec. almost keep up with cars doing 50 kms

I hate to break it to you, but unless you're on a steep decline I seriously doubt you are doing 50km/h on a hybrid.
The gearing just isn't high enough.
I can get up to 50 on my 50/12 road bike at a cadence of ~100, any more than that involves a hill.
Get yourself a a Garmin Edge 500 (or better), measures wheel speed, pedal cadence, heart rate and GPS. It will let you know exactly what you're doing.

Started running at the local athletics tracks doing Tabata style HITT. Found running on a the track was a much more consistent environment to do HITT as opposed to doing it in the park or hilly terrain. Now that I've got a foundation starting doing 2 minutes intervals with 1 minute steady cardio (got this program from Strategic Cardio)
