A mile may be the most simple distance to measure, but it’s not the easiest. When we think about the distance from one end of a football field to the other, or from just past home plate to first base, we have an easier time measuring. But a mile? It might take someone who is cycling that distance up to 10 minutes!
That doesn’t sound very fast, does it? Let’s do some better calculations and find out how long it actually takes you to bike a mile. This article will teach you how long it takes in minutes for someone on a bike to successfully bike one mile.

The Stats
What is the average speed for biking a mile? The average speed for biking a mile is 8.5 miles per hour (mph).
The time it takes to bike the mile at this speed is 7 minutes and 4 seconds.
How Long Does It Take To Bike 10 Miles
We’re going to use a calculator to figure out how long it takes someone on a bike to cycle 10 miles.
First, we’ll input the distance of one mile into our calculator: 1 mile = 5280 feet = 1.609344 kilometers
Next, we’ll input the speed of 10 mph: 10 mph = 6.2 meters/sec
Time taken to travel 10 miles on a bicycle: 1 hour
How Long Does It Take To Bike 5 Miles
First, we’ll input the distance of one mile into our calculator: 5 miles
Next, we’ll input the speed of 10 mph: 10 mph = 6.2 meters/sec
Time taken to travel 5 miles on a bicycle: 30 minutes
How Long Does It Take To Bike 3 Miles
Using the same calculation methods above (10mph) it would be 18 minutes
How Long Does It Take To Bike 2 Miles
Using the same calculation methods above (10mph) it would be 12 minutes
