Stationary (exercise) bike??

We bought one of these second hand off eBay a few days ago as my hubby is diabetic and needs to exercise and lose weight but I have been having a little go. Been two 15 mins stints a day cause I'm pregnant and trying to not overdo things but according to te little computer I burn 250 kcals in that time!!! If that's accurate then wow great cardio!!
Anyone one else ride a bike?? X

I love to cycle, I do 5k daily and I only burn off around 180 calories.
I think how many calories it burns off depends on lots of factors including BMR, weight and resistance etc. I may be wrong, i'm sure some body will correct me if i'm wrong though!

I've been cycling 8ish miles not sure what that converts to in km?? Glad that I've found something that burns calories quickly
