Commuting times, average speeds and PBs

[lukesdad]

Like it jimboale they re all bonkers !

My New PB for my 15.5 mile trip home is 48 mins...However my average commute speed which seems to be about 16.8 mph....

Yay! Just beat my personal best - managed to get from Woolwich to Holborn Circus in 43 minutes. Don't know what my speed was, as I still haven't got round to buying myself a computer, but I'm pretty proud of myself. That beats every single method of transport I've ever used on this route, including a car.
BTW, had a pedestrian jumping in fronf of me on King William Street, close to Bank station. He didn't hear my bell, he was looking in the other way and... he was wearing a high visibility vest marked "Traffic Warden"

One Paramedic says to his colleague, "You may as well stop the guy's Garmin, he won't be getting a personal best tonight".

One Paramedic says to his colleague, "Would you credit it? While this guy's been lying on the road, some cheeky bastard has run off with his bike."

 

[jimboalee]

One Parmedic says to his colleague, "Was he wearing a helmet?"
"Yes, its over there with his head in it".

 

[jimboalee]

One Paramedic say to his colleague, "Do you think we'll be able to save his legs?"
"Yes, I've got them in this bin liner".

 

[jimboalee]

One Paramedic says to his colleague, "He was riding a fantastic bike. I always wanted a bike like that".
"Maybe his widow will sell it to you".

 

[jimboalee]

One Paramedic say to his colleague, "Do you think he'll be identified, his face is a mess?"
"Of course, only one idiot round here wears THAT colour lycra".

Did you see that programme where the guy "raced" a guy in a car from Northfield to Brum (6 miles)
Now this route I hear is flatish and downhill.
The biker on his Roadie is a keen cyclist has raced and owns a bike shop. He did this 6 miles in 21 mins - Av speed 17mph ish.

that doesn't sound too fast. unless there was heavy traffic or a lot of lights he had to stop at.

21 minutes though from leaving the shop.
If his little computer stopped everytime he did it probably was less.
I imagine he kept to the speed limit too

Prob with the 'race the car' cycling stunts is :- the cyclist is kitted up ready and on the pavement with his/her bike when the race starts.

These kind of things should be from alarm clock sounding to sitting at office desk / workstation.

And time taken to find a parking space.
Getting ready is prob going to be the same its arriving thats the differance.
