I've started biking between 15-20 miles three times a week, and was curious how many calories I'm burning each time. The first website I found says this.
>A 200 lb person biking at a normal speed of 14mph will burn 64 calories per mile, if they sped up to 20 mph this would increase to 75 calories per mile.
I just finished a 21 mile bike ride in a bit over an hour and a half, and I have a hard time believing I somehow burned over a thousand calories doing it, compared to a three mile run which would normally leave me feeling destroyed at the end and only (supposedly) having burned a few hundred. Am I right in thinking this information is complete bs?

mountainbiking 30 km at hard pace will take 2000 calories. I dropped kilos a week when I biked seriously.

Biking has the advantage of allowing you to keep a constant heart rate and being easier on the joints.
Same as swimming it's a great cardio exercise.

Cycling is very dependant on pace... 14 MPh average is a pretty good pace on a mtb.
And I can confirm regular cycling will burn mass. I used to ride everyday 3 miles and about 20 on weekends, and lost about 20 lbs in process
