Free cycling distance calorie estimator: enter distance, average speed, and body weight. We derive ride time as distance ÷ speed, then apply MET × kg × hours—the same model family as our cycling calorie burn calculator.

Whole-ride average (rolling time); auto-MET maps speed to a pace band.

MET band chosen from average speed (mph thresholds match our cycling burn calculator).
~14–16 mph / ~22–26 km/h (hard effort)
Your device’s “average speed” should match the distance you enter (e.g., same ride file or summary).
MET bands follow common cycling compendium-style categories; manual mode overrides auto mapping when terrain or wind dominated the effort.
20 mi at 14 mph avg, 154 lb, auto-MET → about 86 min and ~998 kcal (estimate).
We first compute how long the ride took from your distance and average speed. Then we estimate energy using metabolic equivalents (MET) multiplied by body mass in kilograms and duration in hours—the standard approach used across our activity calorie tools. Auto mode assigns a MET band from your average speed using the same mph/km/h thresholds as our duration-based cycling calculator. More fitness & lifestyle calculators are on the hub.
hours = distance ÷ average_speed
kcal ≈ MET × weight_kg × hours
