Calculate cycling speed, pace, and time for your rides
Road cycling on paved surfaces (Avg: 25-30 km/h)
Cycling speed and pace are influenced by numerous factors including terrain, wind conditions, bike type, rider fitness, and riding position. Understanding these metrics helps you plan rides, set realistic goals, and track your progress over time.
| Discipline | Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road Cycling | 20-24 km/h | 25-30 km/h | 30-35+ km/h |
| Mountain Biking | 10-15 km/h | 15-20 km/h | 20-25+ km/h |
| Gravel Riding | 18-22 km/h | 22-27 km/h | 27-32+ km/h |
| Commuting | 15-18 km/h | 18-22 km/h | 22-26+ km/h |
Recovery (50-60% effort)
Easy spinning for active recovery
Endurance (60-75% effort)
Base building rides for aerobic capacity
Tempo (75-85% effort)
Sustained efforts improving lactate threshold
Threshold (85-95% effort)
Hard efforts at or near FTP
VO2 Max (95-100% effort)
Short intense intervals boosting oxygen uptake
This cycling pace calculator helps you plan rides, set goals, and track performance across different cycling disciplines. Use it to estimate ride times, calculate average speeds from completed rides, or determine how far you can travel at a given pace.
Remember that calculated speeds are estimates. Actual performance varies based on terrain, weather, traffic, fitness level, and many other factors. Use these calculations as guidelines for planning and goal-setting.
