This table is swiped from "Bicycling Science", by Whitt and Wilson,
1st edition, MIT Press:

speed (mph)	metabolic heat
racer	tourist	kcal/min (1 Cal = 1kcal)

27	22.5	24
25	21	19.5
22	18.5	15
19	16	10.5
14.5	12	6
10.5	8.3	3.75
7.2	6	2.65
3.2	1.8	1.9
0	0	1.5

Racers use a less comfortable but more efficient riding position
(smaller wind resistance, more applied muscle).
