How many calories am I burning biking?

I ride my bike everyday to work. I ride on the sidewalks and the streets are really crowded, so I can’t bike fast; it takes me about half an hour each direction. So the total is 8.6 km (about 5.3 miles) in an hour. The websites that offer calorie burned calculators won’t calculate this because the biking is too slow for them…

AT this speed you probably burn somewhat faster than walking and than jogging. Total guess but I would say at least 200 to 350 each way. Just balancing on the bike takes up additional calories that walking would not.
At least you're not driving like most of us
