Just for fun, and not to be used as any sort of training information or anything like that ...
When you look down at your computer during a ride (Not a race!! Just a RIDE!), or when you fill your logs in at the end of your rides, what is your "usual" or "average" riding speed?
Be honest here, I'm not looking for the macho answers, just the common everyday speed at which you travel.
I usually ride somewhere between 22 and 24 km/h (13.6 to 15 mph)
I'm not sure what you are referring too. Do you mean the speed you seem to ride at most of the time, or do you mean the computer average after the ride? Huge difference.
