Car vs. bike time?

16 miles with normal traffic plan on 1hr.

(based on an average speed of 16mph, 20mph top speed with a few stops at intersections)

A biker traveling at a slow average pace of 10 mph he/she should arrive in 1.6 hrs. If the biker is able to average 12 mph he/she should arrive in 1.3333 hrs. With relatively flat ground and assuming a very fit biker, he/she should be able to average at least 13 - 14 mph which would result in 1.185 hrs.

an hour would give you about 10 miles at a comfortable pace of 10 miles an hour. another 30 min at the same pace would give you about 15-16 miles

so about an hour and a half with time to take a few drinks of water in between.

i could prob do it in about 45-50+/- min depending on traffic, road conditions and mood. thats on a road bike with slicks. mtb/hybrid times will be slower

I ride 15miles each way to work daily and average about 55min
