According to various sources, the number of calories burned while biking depends on factors such as weight, exercise intensity, and duration. For example, a 155-pound person can burn as many as 298 calories in a 30-minute bike ride if they pedal at a 12-to-13.9 mile-per-hour pace (source: [Healthline](https://www.healthline.com/health/biking-to-lose-weight)). In 60 minutes of cycling on a flat level surface, a 200-pound person will burn 334 calories at 5.5mph, 650 calories at 10mph, and 954 calories at 15mph, while a 150-pound person will burn 250 calories at 5.5mph, 486 calories at 10mph, and 716 calories at 15mph (source: [Captain Calculator](https://captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/calories-burned-cycling-calculator/)). Additionally, a biking calorie calculator estimates that you will burn 476.3 kcal while biking for one hour on an exercise cycle at home (source: [Omni Calculator](https://www.omnicalculator.com/sports/calories-burned-biking)).
Every minute and every effort you put in each exercise has an equivalent of how many calories you burn.
The faster you pedal the more energy you use to go faster which also means the higher the calories you may burn.
A study from Harvard University reveals that a 155-pound person can burn up to 298 calories when biking at an average speed of 12 to 14 miles per hour and 372 calories at a faster speed of 14 to 16 miles per hour.
