Distance.

Enter your ride time, average speed and how many days a week you ride to see your distance per ride plus your weekly, monthly and yearly mileage.

Your riding
Ride time per day

Distance per ride is speed × time. Weekly, monthly and yearly totals scale that by your days per week.

The maths

How the calculator works

Distance is just speed multiplied by time. Once you know your distance for a single ride, scaling it up to a week, month or year is simple multiplication.

×
Distance per ride = average speed × ride time. One hour at 15 mph is 15 miles. Enter km/h and it converts first.
7
Per week = distance per ride × days ridden per week. Five 15 mile rides is 75 miles a week.
M
Per month = weekly distance × 4.35, the average number of weeks in a month.
Y
Per year = weekly distance × 52. This is where small daily rides really add up.

The projections assume every riding day looks like the one you entered. Real weeks vary, so treat the weekly, monthly and yearly figures as a steady-state estimate rather than a promise. The value is in seeing how a modest daily habit compounds over a full year.

FAQ

Daily cycling distance FAQ

Multiply your average speed by your riding time. Distance = speed × time. Riding for 1 hour at 15 mph covers 15 miles. This calculator does that for one ride, then scales it up to weekly, monthly and yearly totals based on how many days a week you ride.

It depends on your goal and fitness. A new rider might ride 5 to 10 miles a day, a regular commuter 10 to 20 miles, and a keen enthusiast 20 to 40 miles. There is no single right number: consistency matters more than any single big day, so pick a daily distance you can repeat without burning out.

For general fitness, 30 to 70 miles a week is a solid range. Committed recreational riders often log 70 to 150 miles a week, and serious amateurs ride 150 miles or more. Beginners should build up gradually, adding roughly 10 percent a week rather than jumping straight to a big number.

For most riders, 10 to 16 miles in an hour on flat roads is typical. Fitter riders on a road bike cover 16 to 20 miles, while beginners or those on hilly routes may cover 8 to 12. Terrain, wind, traffic and fitness all change the number, which is why this tool lets you set your own average speed.

Take your distance per ride, multiply by the days you ride each week to get a weekly figure, then multiply the weekly figure by about 4.35 for a month or by 52 for a year. This calculator handles all of that automatically so you can see how small daily rides add up over time.

They matter equally: distance is simply speed multiplied by time. Doubling either one doubles your distance. In practice most riders find it easier to add distance by riding a little longer than by trying to ride faster, since holding a higher average speed is hard to sustain.
