About CalculateBike
CalculateBike.com exists to answer the questions every rider eventually asks: How fast am I actually going? How long will this route take? How many calories did that ride burn? And what gear, training, and habits actually make riding better? Our calculator solves speed, time, distance, and calorie questions instantly, and our library of guides covers training, maintenance, safety, commuting, and cycling infrastructure worldwide.
How we work
Our calorie estimates are built on MET values from the Compendium of Physical Activities, the reference standard in exercise science, and our training content draws on published sports-science research and established coaching practice. We write for real riders — commuters, weekend road cyclists, gravel explorers, and people getting back on a bike after twenty years — not for professionals with power meters on both cranks. When a number is an estimate, we say so.
Our network
CalculateBike is part of a family of free fitness calculators: CalculateRun for runners, CalculateWalk for walkers, CalculateHike for hikers, and CalculateSteps, which turns the distance between any two places into a step count.
