Im 5' 7' 210 pounds pedalling at an average speed (bike doesnt have mph, has gear speed; gear speed on 5) how many calories can i lose??
 
Hmmm - it depends on how fast you peddle etc. I usually burn off about 150 - 200 calories when I do 20 mins on a bike at the gym with a resistance of 5 / 6 out of a maximum 12. So probably 500 cals an hour maybe but it is really hard to say for sure as there are so many variables.
 
You would probably lose something in the order of 600-700 an hour if you keep a decent speed up.

Saying that, you say speed (technically resistance_ on 5... out of how many? At the gym here at work they only go up to about 12, but at the one I belong to, they go up to about 25.

5 on the work gym bike feels very different to 5 on the other one!

Try and maintain a speed of about 80rpm.

Good luck.
