What's your average speed?

reading the 'whats your top speed' thread i see quite a few responses along the lines of top speed being irrelevant, its the average that counts so i thought this was worth its own thread. whats your average, over what distance, and in or out of town? my average on my 7 mile commute, reasonably flat but with 1 steep bugger of a hill in the middle, is around 12.8mph on 34/15 gearing. thats a (pretty dissapointing!) average cadence of abont 85rpm i think. what is anyone elses?

mines areoung 5 mph on flat ground commute of 10 meters

1,000,000mph

ignore test....

At the moment, I'm averaging 0mph.

1,000,000mph

i always thought you were, slow, now i know for sure.

having said that mine's 999,999.9mph so i guess you win (slightly)

YES I win!!

At the moment, I'm averaging 0mph.

what about your left hand under the table?

16-18mph on my 1.83miles morning commute, depends how tired I feel when I wake up. On my Old commute in from Barkingside to shoreditch (about 9 miles) I used to average around 15mph.

About 7.3 × 10^-5 rad/s

I'm always travelling 1mph faster than Hillbilly

Hillbilly accelerates faster than me, but I have a higher terminal velocity, so it depends on distance, traffic lights, and pedestrians.

16.4 over 20miles of norf and east Lahndan just now including a break to be sick at the top of highgate hill (nearly).

46:16.....not for the steep ones, spesh with unavoidable traffic lights

Bikeradar called and wants it's thread back

Everyone else who has ever made that joke called.. They want their joke back

It's one use only, use it and pass it along

300,000,000 metres per second

Highgate Hill is easy. The only reason to be sick at the top is by drinking far to much at North Drinks.

Not fast enough. It's never fast enough.

It's a friggin grind, especially if you get stuck at the traffic lights.

And after holloway rd with a bleedin headwind all the way.

That's my excuse.

Considering 70gi for my new build.

On my 3 mile commute this morning, my average heart rate was 125 bpm maxing at 144 bpm. My max speed was 23.9 mph but my average, due to traffic, was a miserable 10.53 mph.

Holloway road is better now. Reserfaced the top bit. I know what you mean about the headwind though. Dose my head in. That is one thing I like about climbing. The hill shelters you from the headwind untill you get to the top.

17.3mph on my 15 mile each way on a mixture of flat/hills on 46:16

Toodle pip

Damn straight, headwinds are the breath of satan. I remember riding 40 miles across norfolk once into the most amazing constant debilitating headwind ever. After about a couple of hours I didn't know whether to cry or kill someone.

At least with hills you know there's an end to the pain! ;)
