Last weekend, I picked up a super-cheap cycling computer in Aldi for 20 Euros. I cycle to work, and I thought it’d be fun to get some geeky number-crunching in on my daily commute.
Here are the figures for my trip into work:
- Ride time: 12:16
- Trip distance: 2.4 miles
- Avg speed: 12.7 MPH
- Max speed: 22.4 MPH
- Total KCal work performed: 136
- Max pulse rate: 146
Given that there are 46 kilocalories in a Jaffa Cake, 136 KCal means that every day, I can eat 3 Jaffa Cakes with impunity. Result! ;)
Also: some relevant commentary from Penny Arcade.
