Does anyone know how many calories you loose riding a bike (per hour).?
Answers:
depends what your incline is like, going on a hill or something like that.
Depends on how fast you go, the incline, wind resistance and lots of other things. Your own weight changes how many Calories you burn off.
40 calories per mile aprox.

1000 every hour,but depends on the speed your going.
DEPENDS HOW BIG SHE IS!!
It varies, but as an example of the spread here are my stats from my heart rate monitor software: I'm 225lb, 42 yrs old
800 cal per hour at an average heart rate of 140 bpm.
1000 cal per hour at an average heart rate of 155 bpm
Now, this is all highly variable depending on your heart rate, weight, age and metabolism but on average I burn about 1100 calories per hour on most rides where my heart rate is 160 or more. I'm also an experienced cyclist, I ride about 18-20 mph on average, if you're new to the sport then your heart rate will be higher and your speed slower.
Like others have said, it depends heavily on the terrain you're on, how heavy you are, how fast you're going and how hard your pushing.
For my body weight and fitness level, I can hold a 17 mph average for 20-30 miles here in the Colorado foothills. That's pushing above average for me, and I'd say it burns upwards of 800 Calories per hour.
You might go out and ride like hell for two hours and NOT burn 1600 calories. You need to EAT when riding, or you'll suffer the "bonk." Your body only stores about 2,000 calories to use, and when you use them all you bonk. Very unpleasant, not unlike your car running out of gas. You feel nauseous, can't think straight, possibly cramp up and definitely can't move.
As a survival mechanism, your body can synthesize fat into necessary energy, but not very fast. After about 15-20 minutes after a bonk, you may have enough energy to start thinking more clearly but not enough to get back home. The best thing to do is AVOID bonking altogether by taking water and some snack food with you. Or you could learn the hard way.
Depends on intensity (hills, speed, wind resistance, etc.)
Go to a gym set the resistance,say resistance plus 1 for little wind plus 2 ect and vary the settings as you pedal the machine will then calculate calories or buy a bike computer the more expensive ones have cadence but make sure it has calorie burn
