Cycling Pace Calculator

Calculate your cycling pace, average speed, and time splits for your rides. Perfect for training and race planning.

Distance

Hours

Minutes

Seconds

Average Speed = Distance ÷ Time\nPace (min/mile) = 60 ÷ Speed (mph)\nPace (min/km) = 60 ÷ Speed (km/h)

Example: 20 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes\nSpeed = 20 ÷ 1.5 = 13.33 mph (21.45 km/h)\nPace = 60 ÷ 13.33 = 4:30 min/mile\nPace = 60 ÷ 21.45 = 2:48 min/km

Cycling pace is the time it takes to cover a specific distance, typically expressed as minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer.

Divide 60 by your speed in mph (or km/h) to get minutes per mile (or km). Example: 15 mph = 60/15 = 4 min/mile.

Beginners: 10-12 mph (6 min/mile), Intermediate: 12-16 mph (4-5 min/mile), Advanced: 16-20+ mph (3-4 min/mile). Varies by terrain and fitness.

No. Cycling pace is typically faster because cycling is more efficient than running. Average cycling speed is 2-3x faster than running speed.

Hills, wind, and road conditions significantly impact pace. Uphill: slower pace. Downhill: faster pace. Flat with tailwind: optimal pace.

What is cycling pace?▼

Cycling pace is the time it takes to cover a specific distance, typically expressed as minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer.

How do I calculate cycling pace?▼

Divide 60 by your speed in mph (or km/h) to get minutes per mile (or km). Example: 15 mph = 60/15 = 4 min/mile.

What is a good cycling pace?▼

Beginners: 10-12 mph (6 min/mile), Intermediate: 12-16 mph (4-5 min/mile), Advanced: 16-20+ mph (3-4 min/mile). Varies by terrain and fitness.

Is cycling pace the same as running pace?▼

No. Cycling pace is typically faster because cycling is more efficient than running. Average cycling speed is 2-3x faster than running speed.

How does terrain affect pace?▼

Hills, wind, and road conditions significantly impact pace. Uphill: slower pace. Downhill: faster pace. Flat with tailwind: optimal pace.
