Accurate tool for logging cycling workouts?

For health reasons I don't run or jog but still go out on the mountain bike often. I have looked at the fitbit but from what I have read this is not much use for tracking calories burnt from cycling? Could anyone recommend an accurate and user-friendly tool for this (I assume the best way is a combination of distance covered and heart-rate)?

    I use a heart rate monitor that has a cycle and run option. It works out my calories, heart rate etc.

    Hope that helps!

    Yep, get a HRM and add your own exercises in!

    I use Endomondo to track distance, and when I remember to wear my HRM, input my own info.
