Which category do you fall into?

[si_c]

According to Veloviewer, the average on my 12mile each way commute is 19mph, which drops to around 16mph average on non-commute rides. This includes a lot of utility cycling as well and gentle rides with my Dad and/or Mrs C.

 

[Shortandcrisp]

10-15mph on club runs, 15-20 solo (normally lower end). Have ridden at 20+ on fast 20 mile training rides in a group and I once managed to average 23.8 on a ten mile TT 4 years ago, but those days are long gone I think!

10-15 on the road more like 9 on the MTB off road.

Happily within the 10 - 15 mph range. Can get above 15 mph average if I push hard, never going to get much above 16 mph. Too old and too fat !

Uphill 0-10, on the flat 10-15, downhill 15-20

Short, flat rides (of which there are none around here), about 20

Long, uber hilly rides (of which there are loads around here), as low as 12

Most hilly rides of reasonable distance it's 13.2 . Doesn't seem to vary...it's 13.2

15-20 but only just.

Surely we should be looking to break 50mph down hill, i'm 0.4mph off it.

I do try not to fall into anything. Falling off is another matter . . .

But really, 10 to 15.

Set the 50mph speed cameras off on four wheels coming down from J24(M62) to Elland, on the "Beast o'Burden".

All of them, depending on which bike I'm on

1. 0-10mph - MTB
2. 10-15mph - Hybrid
3. 15-20mph - Road & Gravel

10 to 15 but lower end usually 11 to 12. I would like to be nearer the top end but never seem to get any quicker.

 

[Edwardoka]

In 2015 I was in the 18-19mph bracket over 10-20 miles, tending towards 15mph on rides longer than 100 miles, but that was a crazy year and I've never really recovered from it.
Now my average maxes out at 12-14mph, managed 10mph on a flat 6 miler last week

I'm too old for that now

 

[cyberknight]

depends on how far, how hilly and what im riding .
anything under 40 miles i could probably do 20 mph avg on flattish terrain , look to do around 17 mph for a ton .

Commuting is a different ball park as its full on gungho panniers, etc etc so if i avg 16.5 for the week im happy as now its dark i tend to take it a bit easier .
