How many calories are burned for riding a bicycle one mile?

Question

I know that gears and speed factor in but If I were riding at a 12 mph pace approximately how many calories would I burn?

Answer 1

Each hour is about 350 calories burned at a fast pace.

Answer 2

Actually, it depends on what your gears are on.

Approximetly 35.7, though.

Answer 3

Theres actually a lot more factors than what you mentioned. Gradient, your weight, PSI in your tires, your cross section, wind speed. Very roughly on level ground, somewhere between 400-500 calories.

Edit: Yeah thats wrong thats calories per hour. Which is more like 33-41 calories per mile.

Answer 4

about 500 I think

Answer 5

it depends on your weight but approx 500kcal/hour

Answer 6

One mile?  Maybe 100; not that much.  If you want to burn calories, you need to spend much more time in the saddle.

Answer 7

Your weight is also a factor.  You would burn about 80 calories if you weighed 150.    Check out http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc...

for your actual calorie burn.  Glad I could help.

Answer 8

there is no way you burn 500 calories riding a bike 1 mile. ---maybe if was all up hill ...but a normal 1 mile bike ride is  less than 10 min.  i say 50 caloried max

Answer 9

30-50kcal.  One mile for you equals five minutes.

An hour of 18-mph riding gets me maybe 500kcal burned.
