Heart rate monitor question

[Ian Walker]

I've got a heart-rate monitor (a Polar A5, I think) and have started using it for training rides.
I'm intrigued by the "calories burnt" measure. How accurate do you think this will be? Might it be
based on runners rather than cyclists or something? Or would this not matter? * Ian

If you've got 3 monitors Ian, sell 2 on eBay :-p
