Does one burn more calories liesurely biking or walking the same distance?

Question

I currently walk to work and am looking for ways to try to burn more calories in my day. I also sometimes have to walk to different buildings a few blocks away from my main office for my work. Would I burn more calories if I leisurely biked them instead of leisurely walking them?

Answer 1

Walking would burn more calories.

Let's say your walking 1 mile, in that time you may burn about 100 calories, around there depending on your height and weight.

But with biking, your work becomes a lot easier, you dont need to put much effort into pedaling to go, and so barely doing any work on your part, so i would say it burns about half the calories, but biking can be very good exercise but your going to have to go a lot further distances.
