  Hi James - I think it allows for the bike but not luggage. Here's the additional information about how our calorie calcuator works:

  Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

  I've made a separate thread for this question, but thought I'd add it here too:

  When calculating calories for a cycle route, should the weight be the weight of the rider? Or should it be the full system weight, i.e. rider + bike + luggage?

  Thanks John, but I can't see this image - I think perhaps it is has not been publicly shared.  If you can let me know what route you are looking at though and what weight you are trying to enter I can try it with the same settings here.

  Hi John - I can't seem to be able to reproduce this problem here, so perhaps it depends on the settings you are entering.  Can you let me know what route you are looking at please and what weight you are trying to enter? Also, are you using the desktop version of the site or the mobile site?

  Hi Jaroslaw,

  It's working OK in Firefox here so it could be related to a plug-in you have installed.  Chrome is our preferred browser though and is the one we use mostly for testing, so I'd recommend using that anyway.

  I've used Firefox so far (the latest version... ). Now I changed to Chrome and it works :)

  Hi Jaroslaw - it's working OK here for me. Perhaps it's a propblem related to the specific route you are looking at - can you let me know which route you are looking at please and what settings you are using?  Also, what browser you are using?

  Thanks,

  John

  I try different settings, but the calculator doesn't work.
