cals. burned on a stationary bike?

[muffbs1]

i do my cardio in the gym on a stationary bike. after i am done i look to see how many calories it says that i have burned. how accurate is this info.? i have ridden beside people for same length of time and i close to pace and i usually have burned what is the deal?

what matters is the length of time you ride and the intensity-the # of calories is not the key factor
