Can someone explain how to calculate instantaneous power and energy used
in cycling? Neglecting wind, slope, stopping & starting. For example : I
ride 12350m to work in 40 minutes. I weigh 70kg, and the bike is about
15kg. Road is mostly flat. Its been a long time since high school
physics.

Thats easy, neglecting ALL resistance, the answer is Zero power.

ok I'll quit fooling around. Go to:

http://www.analyticcycling.com/

but you have to include wind, slope etc

Good site, thx.

Actually, I ride on ice in a vacuum.
It's hard to stop sometimes.
