💡 How Biking Calories Are Calculated

Calories burned = MET × 3.5 × body weight (kg) / 200 × duration (min). MET values for cycling: leisure (<16 km/h) = 4.0, moderate (16-20) = 8.0, vigorous (20-25) = 10.0, racing (>25) = 12.0.

Cycling is excellent for calorie burning — it's low impact, scalable in intensity, and burns 400-1000+ calories per hour depending on effort. Stationary bikes use similar MET values.

70 kg person cycling moderate for 30 min: 8.0 × 3.5 × 70 / 200 × 30 ≈ 294 kcal.
