About Bike Pace

Bike pace is a crucial metric for cyclists to track performance, set goals, and plan training. It's influenced by terrain, weather, fitness level, and cycling type.

Typical Speeds by Cycling Type:

  • Road Cycling: 15-25 mph (flat terrain)
  • Mountain Biking: 8-15 mph (trail dependent)
  • Gravel Riding: 12-20 mph (surface dependent)
  • Commuting: 10-18 mph (traffic dependent)
  • Racing: 20-30+ mph (event dependent)

Factors Affecting Pace:

  • Terrain: Elevation gain, surface type
  • Weather: Wind, temperature, precipitation
  • Fitness: Cardiovascular and muscular endurance
  • Equipment: Bike type, aerodynamics
  • Drafting: Riding in groups vs solo
