You are correct in considering the details when computing calories. Speed, Body position (frontal area) Wind resistance, Type of tire being used (rolling resistance) etc.are things to consider. The best and easiest way is to probably find a Journal or on-line bike log like Bike Journal or I prefer Cyclstats, both give you everything you need. Bike journal is a freebie if you don't want to be a preferred member and you can log miles and compare yourself against other riders. You can do a search find all of the journals you can use, just pick.\nRic

It depends "how" you are burning these calories. Every person has a BMR (basal metabolic rate) which indicates how many calories your body will burn daily. This is also usually the daily recommended calorie intake for the individual. For example, my BMR is 1418 calories, and I burn 425 calories from digestion and processing food. Thus, I am to eat 1418 calories a day to MAINTAIN my weight, my body will not "hold on" to these calories. To lose weight, you must burn more than you consume.\n\nIf you are working out and burning 1000 calories, this is a bit on the high side. It also depends on the intensity of the activity, your average heart rate, your diet, and your weight and fitness level! And be careful, what the machines at the gym tell you is usually not accurate (if this is where you are getting the information from) and you should take the calorie values as an estimate. You will usually burn 10-20% less than what the machine displays. Sad, I know :(

This will vary from body to body and can be influenced by your height, weight, exercise level, fitness level,  how often you eat, exactly what you eat, and a number of other things.    The best way for you to find out would be for you to go to a gym or doctor's office and have them do some sort of metabolic test to figure out approximately how many calories you burn, then come up with some sort of diet and exercise program from there.

This is about 1 apple or one of McDonald's very smallest hamburgers.  \n\nHowever, your body has muscles developed during this sport.  Those muscles must be fed and repaired.  \nThey will continue to consume quite a bit of calories after you have stopped pedaling.  \n\nThis, now, is a much larger figure--about 800 calories or so.

Anything under 25 calories for a serving is free. \n\nOtherwise, divide the number of calories by 50. Add to it the number of fat grams divided by 12. Subtract from that sum the number of fiber grams divided by 5.

Any type of exercise, including cycling, burns calories.

How many calories you burn will be specific to each person.  On average though running will burn more than bicycle riding. Men burn faster than women, heavier people will burn more than thinner people.  You will need to find a chart that you can adjust for your sex and weight and other factors.\nBicycle riding at 5.5 MPH will burn about 450 calories per hour\nRunning at 11:30 minute mile pace will burn about 700 calories per hour.

I don't know if anyone can give you your resting metabolic rate (RMR).  However, there is a test that 24 hour fitness offers with a BodyGem that can do just that.  You sit for about 8 minutes breathing into the device.  At the end of the time, it will tell you your resting metobolic rate (and how many calories you would need to consume in a day to support that rate).\n\nI had mine tested and it was right around 1750 calories RMR.\n\nGood luck.
