Estimate calories burned cycling from your weight, speed and distance for one bike ride or commute, with daily, weekly and yearly commute totals.
How the Commuting By Bike Calorie Calculator Works
One-way distance and average speed determine trip time. The self-selected work-commute activity value or a documented speed-band value then drives the MET equation and recurring schedule totals.
Formula: gross kcal per trip = cycling MET x 3.5 x body weight in kg / 200 x trip minutes
What the Results Show
The calculator reports one-way gross and above-rest calories, schedule totals, time, distance, and MET-minutes. Monthly average is annual schedule calories divided by 12, so it respects the selected commuting weeks. Target mode solves one-way distance for a gross-calorie target.
Why This Calculator Is Different
This is a recurring conventional-bike work-schedule calculator. Motor assistance is deliberately handled by the separate E-Bike Ride calculator.
Assumptions and Limitations
Traffic stops, coasting, wind, elevation, cargo, and route conditions are not separate coefficients. The self-selected commute option is a separate documented activity estimate when speed does not match a listed band; it does not guarantee safer or more accurate personal results.
