Subject: RE: Cycling calorie calculator..accurate? My polar says I burn about 950 cal/hr when I am training on the road...That calculator says I am burning about 750 at the same speed.
Neither one is really "accurate", but what I do with my Polar is judge that I am burning around the same amount of calories (number not important ) each ride.
For example, if I go for a 1 hr ride at 20 mph one day and my Polar says I burned 1000 calories, and then the next day, I ride the same ride, but a little slower, I would expect the calories burned to be lower.
