1. This is real off-road biking, with the whole lake, river or shoreline at your feet. A recent study conducted by Frank Katch, Professor of Exercise Science at the University of Massachusetts, and Victor Katchwater, Professor of Movement of Science at the University of Michigan, found that moderate water cycling (about 60% maximum) burned an average of 546 calories per hour. The caloric burn is 8% greater than outdoor bicycling at the speed of 10 to 12 miles per hour.
