  1. I've done the calculations for various bicycle gears going uphill, but I
    seem to have misplaced the paper.

    One thing you could try is to keep track of how many calories you
    consume to keep your weight constant after you unicycle for a specified
    time compared to when you don't unicycle. Then you can get an estimate
    of how much your bicycle computer deviates from reality, and, assuming
    a direct relation between calories burnt on a unicycle vs. bicycle, you
    can then just multiply the amount on your computer by a certain factor
    to arrive at a better estimate.

  2. My personal theory is that an average cheap bike calorie counter is more
    accurate on a unicycle than a bike, BECAUSE it doesn't factor in things
    like coasting.
    443 calories is a lot. That's about 13 or 14 miles of biking.
