I've always found 35cals/mile on a hybrid and 30cals/mile on a road bike to be a good estimate. That's assuming I'm giving a decent effort. I think weight is less of factor for cycling as it is for something like running/walking because a larger portion of the energy expenditure is overcoming wind/rolling resistance as the bike rolls along which is less a function of one's weight.
