You're assuming that the body is non-adaptive. A common mistake.
I found this very article very interesting when my doctor and I were troubleshooting my plateau:
Adaptive thermogenesis in humans
For example:
The body does a lot of things we don't understand.
We're not talking physics. We're talking biology.
And, of course, you DIDN'T bother answering how fast you normally ride.
Now WHY would that be?
Because you're delusional.
You're spinning excuse after excuse, but when you start out saying you burn 1,000 cal/hour, and to top it all off you then throw in this:

You tell us about how you've had all you numbers measured, you pontificate on how the advice you're getting from damn near everyone here can't be right because you're special. Then you throw in something about "age-approximated HR max"?!?!?! Way to toss all your claimed expertise. Do you know what the standard deviation on that number is?
Look it up. You'll learn something.
And the fact that getting your HR up makes you so unstable and unable to balance tells me you ain't all that fit. And that tells me you ain't burning anywhere near 1,000 cal/hour.
So tell us: how fast do you go, on average? 12 mph?
You keep telling everyone here we're all wrong, and you're right. Yet YOU'RE the one not losing weight.
