The *official* Average Speed fan thread
 

Only for real average speed lovers.



(*****ing about average speed or talking about cruising speed not allowed)

I'm in!

I loves me some average speed. The problem is that I feel my speed is only average. How can I get my average speed to be above average ?

Turn off your computer at all stop signs, red lights, and feed stations. :)

And climbs

...and headwinds.

Averages are way important. Especially if you are, well...

I looked at my average speed on my sigma this morning was 15.5mph only to be disappointed when strava told me it was only 14.3

WHO DO I TRUST?!

the higher one obviously!

This is just mean.

I don't think we have enough threads on average speed. Somebody should create 20 more.

So far in May, my average speed is 0.59 mph faster than any other month in 2012.

w00t

How can a speed be faster than a month? Month is a measure of time, and without a corresponding distance measure, the computations are non-sense. Unless you carry the three.

So far in May I have only ridden 473 miles and done 16,990 kj's of work while climbing 28,262 feet. I have averaged 161 watts with an average normalized power of 238 watts.

Monthly mileage/total time = average speed for month.

relying on average speed is well, average.

I got a slow leak during my ride last night. I road at least 5 of 40 miles with decreasing pressure before I noticed and fixed it. How many mph can I add back? It was the front tire and I ride GP4000S 23mm on wide rims at 90f/100r and I weigh 177lbs. Thanks

But that would skew the average number of "average speed" threads.

For every 5 psi you lose/gain 2 mph .... on average

My average speed going up hills is lower than my average speed going down hills. Is there anything I can buy for my bike that will fix that? Maybe something aero?

You mean **** in??

As in mean = average?

Mean speed.

How about a thread about average size?

I only look at my mode.

When I'm feeling down I hop on the trainer and pedal for an hour at low resistance. Average speed is 25mph baby! Perks me right up.
