How long would it take to ride a mile at 5 mph on a stationary bike?

Comparing stationary cycling to real-world cycling is pointless in terms of distances. IRL you might have headwind, tailwind, a hill to climb or descend from and lots of other things that'd affect the distance covered. 5 minute is 5 minutes, that's about it. Besides, the speed of a bike ride can be anything between 5-35 MPH. Assuming an easily reachable 12 MPH 5 minutes of riding would see you covering one mile, but the result could well be entirely different. And while 5 minutes is indeed better than nothing it's way too short to have any significant health/weight benefits by itself.

∙ 14y agoLooking at the pure maths - 1 mile at 5 MPH will take you 1/5 h = 12 minutes. But talking about riding speeds and riding distances on a stationary bike is rather pointless because the bike isn't going anywhere, at any speed. This sounds like a trick question.

∙ 14y agoThat comparison is totally pointless, as the riding speed IRL is entirely dependent on the circumstances. Uphill/downhill, headwind/tailwind, terrain/road etc etc...
Making an incredibly arbitrary assumption there are plenty of riders who can do 20 MPH, so riding 1 mile would take 3 minutes for a reasonably fit rider, on a road, under fairly benign conditions.

a machine is anything that is used to make life easier. if you could bike a mile or walk a mile the bike would be easier and faster. so yes it is a machine
How many steps in 30 minute stationary bike ride?
Entirely pointless question as there aren't any steps in bike riding, and a stationary bike doesn't go anywhere. But making some rough comparisons to real life riding a 20 mile ride under average conditions can be anywhere between 45 minutes and one hour 20 minutes, depending on the rider, bike and course. A well accepted recommendation states that the cranks should turn at a rate of 80-100 turns/minute, which gives you around 6000 turns for the ride.

One mile is equal to 5,280 feet, so yes I would say it is long.
How long for a 12 mile bike ride?
I presume you mean how long will it take for a 12 miles bike ride. It depends on how fast you can bike, if it's uphill or downhill. The average is between 8-13 mph for most people to bike on a 10-speed on the whole. By that measurement, it could take 50-90 minutes or so on the average.
