Cycling Calorie Calculator
Estimate calories burned while cycling from body weight and distance. Informational only, not medical advice.
This calculator uses a simplified moderate-effort cycling estimate based on weight and distance.

How it works
This calculator uses a simple cycling estimate where calorie burn scales with body weight and distance covered.
Compared with running, cycling often uses a lower simplified distance coefficient in rough estimates.
Examples
- 70 kg cycling 20 km → rough calorie estimate
- 154 lb cycling 12 miles → imperial inputs are converted internally
- Useful for quick ride-planning estimates

FAQ
- What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates calories burned while cycling based on body weight and distance covered.
- Why is cycling different from running?
Cycling often has a lower per-kilometer energy cost than running, so this calculator uses a different simplified coefficient.
- Is the result exact?
No. Actual calorie burn varies with terrain, wind, speed, posture, bike type, and rider efficiency.
- Can I use miles instead of kilometers?
Yes. The calculator supports both metric and imperial inputs.
- Are my ride values stored?
No. All calculations run locally in your browser.
