I think the math checks out for this graph.

If a human on a bicycle consumes 0.15 calories per gram per kilometer, then a 100 kg person would be:

100000g x 0.15 calories = 15,000 calories = 15kcal

I'm guessing these numbers are for a racing bike on a flat stretch of smooth road where you don't need to brake or accelerate.
