How Cycling Speed Is Calculated

Formula

Speed = Distance / Time

Context

Average cycling speeds vary widely: casual riders average 10-14 mph, fitness cyclists 15-18 mph, competitive cyclists 18-25 mph, and professionals 25-30+ mph. Wind, terrain, and bike type significantly affect speed.

Example Calculation

You cycled 25 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes.

  1. 01Total time = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours
  2. 02Speed = 25 / 1.5 = 16.67 mph
  3. 03Speed in km/h = 16.67 * 1.609 = 26.82 km/h
  4. 04Pace = 90 / 25 = 3.60 min/mile
