A while back, I posted about cycling and calories. It was just a little tongue in cheek piece about how many calories I have burned.
The Palm Beach Bike Tours blog has a great write-up about calories and pulling a trailer. It is an interesting read. Go take a look.
As far as my numbers go...
Me at 15 mph: 0.049 *180 is 8.82 calories per minute
Me with the trailer at 15 mph: 0.049*200 is 9.8 calories per minute
Me with Lindsay in the trailer at 15 mph: 0.049*245 is 12 calories per minute
Me with Lindsay and Emily in the trailer at 15 mph: 0.049*270 is 13.23 calories per minute
Of course, none of this really matters as long as I get to have fun with the kids.
