How many calories are burned while cycling over relatively flat terrain?

Answer by  Zorfandel (398)

On a flat surface the amount of calories burned is directly proportional to the power generated by the torque produced by your pedaling. In otherwords, how fast your riding your bike determines how many calories you burn.

It depends on how long you are cycling for, what gear you have the bike in, and exactly what the grade is (probably not exactly flat). Determining loss of calories is very difficult, as there are so many different factors that go into determining it. Remember: the more time you spend cycling though, the better!
