Hi all,
I try to ride to work a couple of times a week, it's about 4 miles each way so nothing mind blowing. I'm riding on an old 90's Kona and since I've been off today I thought I'd do a bit of a bike ride this afternoon and it's also the first time with my new running/cycling GPS watch.
I did 20 miles and averaged 10mph according to said watch, it's something I've never really considered before and it got me thinking what average speeds are people seeing on their road bikes?
The main reason this has suddenly popped into my head is that we might be moving in work, so the commute will be going from 4 miles to around 12 each way. I'm wondering if I did invest in a road bike (which is something I've been thinking about for a while now) how much quicker could I possible go?
I know this involves a lot of factors, but what sort of average speeds are people seeing on their commutes?
