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.

Riding a bike because your legs are doing more work then running.
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.

Is 1 mile long?
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.
