Hmmm...I use the calorie counter built into my bike computer. I doubt it's very accurate, but it does match what I get from this site:
http://www.primusweb.com/cgi-bin/fpc/actcalc.pl I use this category:
"Bicycling: 12-13.9 mph, leisure, moderate effort"
It shows that for my weight and speed/effort, I will burn ~1080 calories in one hour. My bike computer shows ~1095. I know these values are approximate and don't take into account hills, headwinds, gearing, and so on, so I guess my question is: are they worth anything and/or how should I calculate my real calorie burn per hour?
Thx,
S.
