Would Tabata be any good on a stationary bike?
I cycle most evenings when I get home from work.
I read about Tabata on here and wondered if it would be any good for me?
Maybe cut my total time down to 30 minutes, 5 mins warm up, 2 mins Tabata, 5 mins cool-down?
I'm trying to lose fat, at a decent rate. I eat well, just want to lose it quicker!

It's fine to use a stationary bike for Tabata-style interval training. Much of Tabata's research was on stationary bikes.
The protocol prescribes 4 minutes total of intense intervals:
The whole session last 14 minutes and comprises of a 5 minute warm up, 4 minutes of intense exercise and a 5 minute cool down. The 4 minutes of intense exercise comprises of 8 repeats of 20 seconds of maximum effort work of your selected exercise followed by a recovery of 10 seconds.
If you're reasonably fit already, doing absolutely all-out effort for twenty seconds eight times should be exhausting.
