I can't address jogging or running calories burned because bone on bone knees from 68 years with bowed legs only allow walking. My speed walking at a 10mpm pace does indeed create a heart rate equivalent to aggressive bicycle riding and as such the calorie expenditure is similar according to my Garmin920XT. Stride cadence varies from 180spm to 220spm and with arm motion it is a great workout.
BTW, Walt Disney World's Marathon Weekend registration opens today for Pass Holders so I'm in for my 8th marathon, such a deal at $188.00.
