Cycling is a great exercise for losing weight or for general fitness. The amount of calories you burn is really dependent on a few factors:

1. Speed you're travelling
2. Amount of incline or decline travelling on
3. Your weight

See our chart below for a rough guide to how many calories you will burn. Remember some of these speeds are very high and if you're using a stationary bike then readings could be incorrect.
