Riding my bike to class (just over 1 mile each way) is more strenuous than walking. But it takes me less than 10 minutes.

And even though walking is less strenuous than biking, when I do walk to class I am actively moving for closer to 20 minutes each way.

Which option burns more calories (biking or walking)?
 
People burn calories at different rates.
However, riding a bike will burn more calories than walking the same distance
 
well...walking does because it is longer and you burn more than the bike...
