Sorry, you're going to have to pay SOME attention to what you consume. Imagine for a second you got a raise at your job and simultaneously quit balancing your checkbook. Same principle.

FWIW, I generally figure 1 mile walking = 3-4 miles biking, given the same level of effort. Apparently most of the exercise/tracker apps I use do as well, as they generally credit me with 20-40 calories per mile biking and 70-100 calories per mile walking.
