Thanx for taking the time to do the calculations and putting all your grey
matter to work, but you've done what seems to be in-escapable in today's 
society: discrimination.  I was a competetive swimmer before I turned cyclist/
triathalete and, believe it or not, the bigger (height and build) the swimmer
is usually the better swimmer.  As a result, I'm a fairly lean (~10% body fat)
180 lbs. at 6 feet tall.  I guess it would have been nice to increase the 
range.  (I'm really not flaming, just pointing something out.)

Also, I'm just curious why you (and others over the past discussions of the 
net) are so concered about such conversions (running to biking to walking to
fill_in_your_favorite_other_past-time).  I understand the desire to know just
how much your "burning off" during a ride, but I think that a calculation
like that is also quite complex and individual dependant (although I would 
agree that the table you listed may be within +/-20-30 calories...)
