Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories does cycling burn?

Cycling (7.5 MET) burns about 525 calories per hour for a 70kg person. A 30-minute bike ride burns about 262 calories. Vigorous cycling at 25+ km/h can burn 700+ cal/hr.

Is cycling good for weight loss?

Cycling is excellent for weight loss. It burns 400-700 calories per hour, builds leg muscle (increasing resting metabolism), and is low-impact, making it sustainable for regular exercise. Outdoor cycling burns more than stationary biking.

How far should I cycle to lose weight?

Cycling 20km at a moderate pace (20 km/h) takes about 1 hour and burns 400-500 calories for a 70kg person. Cycling 20km daily can contribute to 0.5kg weekly weight loss combined with dietary changes.
