No. Not unless you are doing excess movements. You may burn as much as a slow to medium speed road cyclist. Stationary cycling just isn't rigorous enough to compare to mountain biking.

spinning (the aerobic kind) I would assume burns loads of calories. It is interval training at super high speed to low speed. With the varriety I would assume it burns a decent amount of calories.
