Oh, I agree on that. It's just the basic fact that if you add the extra energy expenditure of biking, you have to take in more calories. (Assuming you maintain a constant weight, of course. If you lose weight, you're just burning extra calories that you've already paid for.)
So how much do those extra calories cost? You can get them pretty cheap - I think buying beans, brown rice, and oatmeal in bulk at the local cheapo supermarket would get it down to pennies.
