Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does cycling burn per hour?
Cycling burns 400-1,000 calories per hour depending on speed and body weight. A 170-pound person burns about 500-600 calories per hour at a moderate pace of 12-14 mph.
Does cycling burn more calories than walking?
At moderate intensities, cycling burns more calories per hour than walking. However, cycling is lower impact, so many people can sustain it longer. A 30-minute bike ride at 12-14 mph typically burns as much as a 60-minute brisk walk.
How does cycling intensity affect calorie burn?
Calorie burn increases significantly with speed. Riding at 14-16 mph burns about 25-50% more calories than riding at 10-12 mph. Wind resistance and hills also increase the effort required.
