does it calibrate with how fast you are going vs energy expenditure and such like?

(, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 11:32, Reply)
OK, that's not quite what I meant
if you cycle the route at, say, 10mph and again at 20mph does it record 4 times as much energy burnt? I wasn't sure running apps bothered factoring the wind resistance squared thing.

sorry, I'm being a tool
I meant 8 times as much energy. KE goes with velocity^2, so travelling twice as fast requires 4 times as much energy just for the speed, and then wind resistance is related to v^2 as well, so it's probably close to 8 times as much energy to actually cycle twice as fast. Test it out!
