Where'd you get 4mph? 12 miles in 45 minutes is 16 MPH, a decent speed to maintain on a bike.

- soperj 12y ago25km an hour is pretty easy on a road bike.
- schrodinger 12y ago16mph/25kmh for a short burst, anyone can do. To average that speed for an hour is something that most people could work up to, but a casual cyclist probably couldn't do.
- soperj 12y agoEven when going through areas with a lot of lights(ie:stop/starts) I still average over 25km an hour. With a light road bike it really isn't that fast.
- jessaustin 12y agoAck! I'm blaming the whiskey. Yes 16 MPH is quite respectable on a bike, and I note that OP didn't mention hills either. Although bicycles are often capable of more straight-line travel than autos, so the distance might be closer to eight miles than twelve.
