How it can be possible that "riding" 3 miles in 20 minutes on one of those recumbant bikes burns less than 100 calories even when you use one of those pre-programmed routes and ramp up the incline thing a notch. I mean, seriously, that should be worth like 300 calories at LEAST.
This fitness thing is starting to piss.me.off.

You must have a defective bike. It's worth more calories than that on mine. I'd get up and go get an exact number for you but I'm feeling too lazy.
That does sound low, although I think 300 is too much to expect, too. When I do the treadmill or the eliptical machine, I get about 10 calories per minute from an intense workout - like, I get really gross and sweaty. On the other hand, I am kind of a fat slob, so take that for whatever it's worth.
I'm with those two. That seems very low. I too get about 10 calories per minute on my Gazelle.
Shit, this better not be true because Michelle is on her way this minute to go pick up the indoor bike for me. I've been asking for it forever and she decided that it would be the perfect gift for Valentine's Day. And now I need to come up with something equally romantic. This is why I hate VD. Damnit. :)
