I have been going to ride a bike at the local center, and in 35 minutes, I usually do 6 miles, + or - a tenth or 2, and it shows that burns less than 200 calories. I do not know the speed I was riding on the bike at the center, because it showed in “levels” instead of mph. I bought a new exercise bike, and rode it for the first time this morning. I rode it 30 minutes, at about an average of 22mph, and a distance of 11.5 miles, and it showed I burned 500 calories. Does that seem realistic? I wouldn’t think there would be that much of a difference in the calculations of the 2 bikes. I can tell there is a difference in the difficulty of the 2 bikes, and it seems that I pedal this one a little faster, but it still seems a little harder. The bikes are both dual action, where you pump the handles back and forth while you pedal. Thanks.
