It’s more because at a spin class I don’t have to worry about cycling home so I go all out and outpace my fat conversion abilities by quite a bit

I can actually go a lot longer without eating if I’m just out on the road on a long easy ride. I don’t seem to do many of those though because I only seem to have the ability to go like hell, or be lazy
