Also depends on climbing — I did The wind was quite still. A few days later a near on identical route to work, just all on road, and no snow I managed Strong headwind in, tailwind home. Averaged Was in a group for some of it, but rode with just one other for most of it. Would the mph be enough to keep up on a group ride? I see the local club heading out on weekends. Probably, however it will take you some time to get used to pace, group riding and sustained speed.
Our club has a couple of groups. One tends to be for the older guys, new to or returning to cycling — they tend to ride mph.
Our group usually averages around mph in winter and mph in summer. Group rides should be a constant effort, but I found my in my early rides I struggled on hill and out of corners as the effort level just seemed to increase more than I was used to.
Again, it depends on the group. Off road XC racing, 13mph is properly quick. On road, on a road bike, over an average sort of road distance of km most club roadies can do mph on their own, maybe mph in a group.
Road racing: varies wildly depending on the course. Did an offroad mtb ride with a group of roadies around Xmas, nothing too technical, a few fire road climbs. High-quality bikes are available in the current market with different speed characteristics due to good speed gears or delicate aero design.
Now, if you love cycling, you are more likely to invest money in extraordinary cycles. So professional cyclists who like to take part in competitions must require a bike with excellent speed. There are many bikes with high speed available in the market, and they all possess gears and speed.
As much as I remember, I started cycling when I was 5 years old. So I got to know that the passion for riding it runs through my blood but buying the right bicycling equipment and trustworthy information is another story. Always betrayed by sellers and even by friends so I decided to revolutionize it. I do in-depth research on every topic I publish to share with you the most valuable and trustworthy information. Read more about the way I choose the best cycling products and my transformation journey from riding it as a hobby to becoming my passion.

I certainly feel a bit better but would love to average 16 — 17 mph by the end of this summer. I bought my first bike when I retired at I started out averaging around 10mph that first year. I ride with my 16 year old granddaughter for over a year now. She rides to stay in shape for running track.
I try to make 4 rides a week. I try to ride 75 miles a week. Still averaging around 15 when I ride alone and around 13 when I ride with granddaughter.
Total knee replacement in and rotator cuff surgery We just rode 30 miles this morning and I feel great. Best thing I ever did getting a bike. Go robbie. You are doing great and inspring to read for lazy guys like me in 30s to get moving! I started riding at 70, the first ride I recorded was 7 miles and at an average speed of I repeated that ride exactly a year later, I was chuffed but what was the reason?
Lighter, newer bike? All three I suspect since most of my rides are at about 12 mph. It is a it hilly around where I live, in the last 25 rides I have climbed Everest! I have been a road biker for years, now at seventy two years old I find a road bike cumbersome it sit on so I switched to mountain bikes they are very comfy for me, I like vintage mountain bikes from back in the day that I could never afford then I customize them to my needs and am able to average between mph.
With mtb gearing I have several courses that are either 10 or15 miles long and get a good barometer of my current health on a monthly basis. I took up road biking when I retired to Florida 6 years ago.
I bought myself a nice, mid-priced Bianchi road bike. My goal has been miles a week and I have hit that a majority of the time. However, my times have not drastically changed. Just in the past month, I have been averaging I ride alone most of the time, so I suspect that may be holding me back. My wife and I took up riding. We started when I was lbs and we struggled to hit 10 miles and could barely get to 9 mph.
A year later, I had dropped to and we were averaging 12 mph and riding 35 miles. My wife has seen similar results. It is a positive impact on your mental state, keeps you healthy and ultimately leads to a better quality of life. Started out kinda slow on the aluminum mountain bike.
Recently recorded 35 mph in the Specialized I ride around on currently. Only know this when looking up at auto speed sign by a Middle school. Quite surprised by this. Once you get up beyond 15 mph, wind resistance is a major factor, The power needed to go faster watts goes way up for each additional mph. Big difference riding at a 45 degree angle vs low , in the drops of the handlebars. I average mph on my rides in the mountains by my property. Jumping from 14mph to 20mph in a few months is probably not realistic, especially if you are only riding around 6 miles a day.
Then again, everyone is different. I m 37 years old female. I do alone… And enjoy to do riding, exploring new areas of my city. I have lost too much fat. My average speed 11 mph, I would like to get up to 15, perhaps I need a road bike? If anyone could give me feedback it help tremendously. I have swabble.
If you are new to cycling, I think a hybrid is a great bike on which to start. As you get stronger and more comfortable in the saddle, lengthen your rides for endurance.
