What is the average time it takes to ride a bike 10 miles?

Question

I want to know if I ride a bike to the same destination everyday how long will it take me average

Light traffic with stop lights. Not much uphill.

Answer 1

There are alot of variables involved, wind, road conditions, temperature your positioning on the bike ( upright or Aero ) and so on.
Speeds of 13.3 will produce a 45 min ride, @15mph = 40min, @17.1 = 35 and @ 20mph = 30 min. Please keep in mind these are average speeds calculated from highs and low speeds and time of a bike ride. Yours can vary depending on your conditioning.

Answer 2

In the best case, perhaps 40 minutes. In the worst case about 90 minutes.

Stoplights can be a real momentum buster on a bike ride. If you hit stop lights every quarter mile, you may never get to a good cruising speed. If you get a couple mile stretch without lights then you may really get up to speed.

Also the length of time to wait at stop lights and the sensitivity of the lights can be a factor. If the traffic is really light and the traffic lights are on poorly tuned 'loop detectors', you may be stuck through a light cycle just waiting for another car to show up just to get the green light.

Another factor is your preferred speed. You could probably cruise at 10 miles per hour without breaking a sweat. This would take about an hour if you hit all green lights. However, you will spend a decent amount of time stopped at red lights, as well as accelerating and decelerating.

15 mph is a moderate pace that would give a good workout. 20 mph would be more intense and probably could not be maintained for the whole ride without a decent amount of training.

Traffic can also play a factor. Biking on roads with fast moving traffic, a well placed bike lane, and no intersections can be much faster than biking on a low-traffic residential street with many intersections.

Prevailing winds and hill direction will also have an impact.

Answer 3

I go a 10 mile route, and it takes me about 40 minutes everyday, and it is a lot of up hill most of the way, so if you dont have any up hills, but there are traffic lights, I would say it should take you about 30 minutes, unless you are not an avid biker, and this is your first time really biking then it may take you a bit longer.

Answer 4

If I were making a 10 mile bike commute, I would factor in 1 hour for the ride, locking up my bike, and changing my clothes. The ride itself will take less than an hour, if it's relatively flat, on pretty much any K-Mart bike. A nicer bike will make the ride faster, a hilly ride could make it slower.

Answer 5

It really depends on where you are riding. I have done 10 mile rides on my BMX bike and done them in around 20-30 minutes. I was riding pretty hard. At an average pace 45min is pretty good. That is with no traffic and a couple of hills.

Answer 6

Give yourself an hour and a half the first time you do it. The next time should take you a little less time. If you haven't been on a bike for awhile it's gonna hurt. If you have been on a bike lately you should be able to judge your speed by now. Be careful on the streets. I'm out there too.

Answer 7

My Mobike takes 20 Minutes to reach a destination 10 miles if I drive at a speed of 60 Miles/Hour

Answer 8

It depends on your average speed. If you're traveling as fast as 20MPH, then you divide 10 miles by 20 MPH then you will get the Time it will take you to travel that distance. Keep a record of your Elapsed Time everytime you get to your destination and sum it up divided by the number of times you travel, this, you will get your actual average.

Answer 9

well
i have a bmx bike and it takes me 45 minutes to ride 4 miles.
but it is also 2 miles uphill and 2 miles downhill.

Answer 10

relies upon on what variety of motorbike you have and how properly it suits me. If that's a great highway motorbike, then approximately 25 minutes. A mtn motorbike, perhaps greater like 35-40. Bmx...have not been on a variety of in years, so that's a on a similar time as.
