They are assuming you're biking is at your optimal exercise heart rate, which I doubt happens on your commute.
Riding the bike is great for the environment and it certainly helps a little in weight loss, but unless you get off the bike feeling "beat" at least 2-3 times a week, then you are doing little to improve your overall fitness. Your body will adjust to an exercise load that becomes too routine. Shock your body and you will notice results.
