Calculate your ride

Choose the value to solve for, then enter the other two.

Enter two values

The third value will be calculated for you.

Use moving ride time for average speed. Stops, hills, wind and terrain can change your overall trip average.

How to calculate average cycling speed

Average cycling speed is distance divided by time. For example, a 20-mile bike ride completed in 1.25 hours has an average speed of 16 mph. Enter distance and ride time to use this as a bike speed calculator.

The same formula works in metric units: divide kilometers by hours to get kilometers per hour. Choose kilometers and km/h above to calculate a cycling speed in metric units.

Estimate bike ride time or distance

To estimate ride time, divide the planned distance by your average speed. To estimate distance, multiply average speed by time. This calculator works as a cycling distance calculator and a bike ride time calculator when you know the other two values.

These results are arithmetic estimates. Actual ride speed depends on terrain, wind, traffic, stops, equipment and effort.

Formula

Speed = distance ÷ time
Distance = speed × time
Time = distance ÷ speed
