Actually in cold weather you burn more calories because your body has to burn fuel to keep warm + burn fuel to ride.

anyway i just came back from a short hour long ride (19 miles) and i seriously feel fine..like i just rolled outta bed to start my day. it may have been because i rode smaller gears to spin faster and keep warm most of my ride, but i was wondering is it possible that you burn fewer calories in colder conditions while on the bike?
