It entirely depends on your effort level. To say 'biking' burns 530 calories per hour seems precise. But a racer can burn 5000 calories. And you can burn everywhere in between those numbers, depending on your exertion level and the course.

Agreed - however, cutting caloric intake requires far less effort, and doing so via certain diets is far easier than others.
