Subject: Garmin Calories-so which is more?
Hey peeps...according to my Garmin 305, I burned over 700 calories on a bike ride (appx 1hr) whereas my running calories are about 100 or so less. 
I know there are some issues with Garmin calculating too many calories burned but my question is: 

Don't we burn more calories running vs biking (considering all things equal - weather, fatigue level, perceived exertion etc..)???

Depends on a few variables, but I believe in general, you will burn more calories when running.

Garmin is always high. Mine says I burn 1000 calories per hour on the bike.
