How much calories a person get by cycling over 10 minutes per day?

It depends on your weight and the intensity. A 56kg person at moderate intensity might burn around 70 ish in 10 mins.

However 10m is not really very much if it includes a warm up so would be unlikely that the full 10m would be moderate.

What sort of cycling are you thinking about.

Looking at my recent rides (I have a power meter so these numbers are accurate):

flat chatty bimble with kids averaging 21kph: 62 kcal per 10 minutes

rolling group ride averaging 30kph: 100kcal per 10 minutes

flattish Zwift race averaging 37kph: 144kcal per 10 minutes

So as a rule of thumb if you are on a flat road (where weight isn’t a consideration) I would say 50-80kcal depending on how fast you are going.
