How fast do you go?

[al78]

About 13-15 mph outbound, 16-19 mph back home. I'm fortunate to have an almost entirely rural commute so only have four give way junctions in 10 miles (six on the way back).

Managed 20 mph average once on the way back when I went for it.

16mph 16miles today up hill out down hill on the way back.

Average is 13.5 to 14mph over my 19ish mile commute.I only reset my computer each day rather than each leg of my commute.

"How fast do you go?"

That's the worst chat up line ever!

 

[Evilcat]

16 mph over 10 mile route on the way in, 14 mph on the way back due to traffic. And I do have a huge number (more than 50) of traffic lights, it being through central London...

Broke my PB with an average of 18.64mph over 15 1/2 mile course. The first 2/3rd are pancake flat. the last 3rd undulating....First time I've got under 50 mins. Average so far is 16 1/2 and climbing steadily!

Oi Browser, slow down on that Falcon you'll do yourself an injury!

Very little point looking at my average as when I come home I collect my daughter from school and walk from there to wherever we need to go (every day a different after-school club ).

But I did notice when I put a new computer on the bike a few days ago and rode to work, the average was 14.5mph. The old computer was a pile of crap from Tesco and once I'd ridden for 10 hours all the stats froze It showed 12.7mph as my average for about a year

My speeds are anywhere from 14-17mph average depends on which route I take. I have been as low as 12mph but that's due to hurricane head winds.

On my work commute it varies between 15mph average (winter, cold, wet and dark) to 18mph (summer, dry roads and daylight) over a 22 round trip.

At the weekend I get about 19mph on a 35 - 50 mile trip out into Kent (traffic makes all the difference)

My aim is one day, on either route (not fussy), to regist 20mph+ average speed.

when I first started riding to work, my computer registered 19mph average!!...then, as the amount of miles built up it seems to recalc the average over the total (obvious I suppose) so my average dropped each month by about 1mph. Then it sort of settled at 17 for a bit, now seems to have settled at 15.

I figure by this time in 2012, I'll be going backwards.

Odd tho, my journey always takes the same time regardless of what the computer says is my average mph.

I took the batteries out a few months ago (just put them back in this week tho to try and monitor my speed and keep uit down to allow more days on the bike as i recover...that hasn't worked)

Mostly I go not as fast as I'd like to, and every now and then I'm terrifyingly fast for a few seconds.

 

[Armegatron]

Ive definatly seen an improvement in my speeds since I started last year. I was getting about 10mph before, but now Im cruising at 14-15mph and can give a good sprint of 30mph on roundabouts etc without passing out

 

[Cubist]

My average is over both legs of the commute, as there's a total descent of 1000 feet in, and of course an ascent of 1000 feet home. My average on the way in is about 23mph, and overall (there and back) between 11,5 and 13 mph depending on headwind and traffic.

 

[deccoo]

Get between 12 - 16mph over 10 miles between Bounds Green and Waterloo. Did managed a colossal 7mph on the first day back after Xmas when it was -4 degrees and I'm just wearing a thermal jersey!

 

[oliglynn]

16-17 mph over 7 miles on the flat oxfordshire country roads with little to no stops... 15 if i'm feeling really knackered. This is on my trek 7.3fx hybrid - Hope to improve on this by getting fitter and a proper road bike on c2w this summer
