CycleCal
MET-based cycling calorie burn.
A MET (metabolic equivalent) compares an activity's energy cost to resting quietly — leisurely cycling might be 4 METs (4x resting burn), while vigorous cycling can hit 10+ METs, which is why intensity matters as much as duration.
Heavier bodies burn more calories doing the same activity because moving more mass takes more energy — which is why this calculator asks for weight alongside duration and intensity.
