    depends on how fast you ride your bike. if it takes 2 hours to get there, and say you average 50mph in a car, that means its a 100 mile ride. if you only ride your bike 10mph [not sure what the average is, but i dont think it would be much more than that], then it would take you 10 hours... thats if youre able to maintain a solid 10mph the entire way, with no stops.. which i dont think is very realistic, unless youre lance armstrong. if you stop, or slow down it will take longer. keep in mind, too, that any hills could cause you to lose time since its harder to maintain the same pace going up a hill as it is to ride straight on flat ground.

    Assuming a 2-hour drive gets you around 120 miles (at 60 MPH), you would have to bike at about 10 MPH for 12 hours. Or 20 MPH for 6 hours. You can do the math from here.

    Just figure you are going an average of 10 mph on a bicycle. So if you are going 60 miles it would take you about 6 hours of constant pedaling with no stops.

    How fast is the car going when it drove those 2 hours? We need to know miles (distance).

    Also, what's the terrain like? Will you be on busy roads? Back country roads? Up a lot of hills? Making your way through potholes and evading dogs & pedestrians?

    What kind of bike are you riding? How experienced a rider are you? What's your age? What kind of shape are you in?

    Go on map quest when you put in the address you can choose walking instead of driving. I would cut the that time in half since you will be moving a bit faster on the bike.

    you can expect to make about 10 mph on a bicycle without killing yourself. so if you average 60 mph in a car that would be 120 miles. it would take 12 hours of straight pedaling.

    Depends on how fast you can go, and what the speed limit is to where you're going. If the speed limit when you're driving is 55 the whole way through, it would take you an awful long time. lol.

    I'm thinking, maybe like, 3 1/2 hours.

    No. maximum people who holiday motorcycles do no longer holiday interior the rain. they're sugar, they soften in the event that they get moist. they're petrified of slick pavement. the massive problem with driving a vehicle interior the rain is that the rain stops. and then what to you do? caught someplace without your bike! So I holiday interior the rain. it incredibly is larger to be driving interior the rain then driving a vehicle interior the dry.

    Will the wind be at your back? Is it mostly downhill? Do you have an aerodynamic helmet? How much do you weigh? How old are you? Will you be carrying items? What do they weigh? And what kind of bike?

    I'll need this information before I can give you an exact time.
