Hi,

I sometimes ride a very heavy bike (between 200-1000 lbs not including my body weight). How is the calorie burn for biking calculated? Does the mass of the machine play into the equation anywhere, and if so, what can be done to make logging my cycling more accurate?

Cheers!

It would be based on your size and other physical data and your heartbeat... It is your heart beat that shows how hard you are working...
