If not, just be a happy rider and keep on going anyway! Have fun! John from Manchester. What a old fart community? I am 69 years old. I started riding about 12 years ago when I was still working.
It was more for fun. I would average around 10 miles over several sessions per week. The bike was to replace jogging. In December I suffered a heart attack while riding my bike. I crashed and burned on the road. Two stints and I made a full recovery. Currently, I am riding 80 — miles a week in 3 or 4 sessions.
I start out with a mile goal. I ride mostly in town so my miles per hour. I take each ride as an adventure. I started at an average speed of I try to ride everyday. Since the beginning of the pandemic I was furloughed and rather than sit at home wallowing in self pity I decided to take up cycling again. I have loved every minute of it. I started off slowly averaging mph doing short 20 miles plus rides in the winter months. I have since added a smart trainer to my training regimen which is so beneficial.
It has improved my cadence, speed and endurance on the road. I look forward to the long Sunday rides which are usually about miles long depends on time constraints.
My average speed on these rides is I have started doing weights as well in the gym as I want to shift some of the weight to help me climb better. Cycling is as every knows, a low impact exercise so I need to mix it up. So anyone reading this and feels disillusioned, remember how I felt. Cycling saved me. I always feel ten times better and a good long ride.

The first person over the line in the amateur race was William Turnes, who took 5 hrs 2 mins 56 secs. But there's a complicating factor. The problem for someone trying to emulate a pro is that, the faster you go, the more air resistance you are up against and the more power you need. If you want to cycle twice as fast, you actually need to pedal eight times as hard.
Former British time trial champion and cycling journalist Michael Hutchinson also raced that day in against Wiggins, coming second. He has done some calculations on how many watts the riders were pedalling at. Even for a time trial specialist like Hutchinson, the extra power needed to match Wiggins' speed was immense. I was probably doing about watts to Wiggins' That's the sort of margin that doesn't sound like a lot but that's the kind of gulf I was never going to cover.
How does your average bike speed stack up with the fastest riders in the world? Feb 1, by Alex Rees. Here are a few of the average speeds for the professional cyclists that race in the Tour de France: Average Speed on Flat Ground: mph The average speed for professional cyclists while traversing on flat terrain is mph.
