How can I calculate the extra calories burned carrying a backpack when cycling?
This is a question that many cyclists ask themselves, especially when they are planning a long bike ride. There are a few factors that will affect the number of calories you burn, including the weight of the backpack, the distance you are cycling, and the intensity of your ride.
To calculate the number of extra calories you will burn carrying a backpack, you can use the following formula:
Calories burned = (Weight of backpack in pounds) x (Distance cycled in miles) x (0.02)
For example, if you are carrying a 10-pound backpack and cycling for 10 miles, you will burn an extra 20 calories. This is in addition to the calories you would burn cycling without a backpack.
It is important to note that this is just an estimate. The actual number of calories you burn may vary depending on your individual fitness level and the conditions of your ride.
