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

Answer 1

Oh, dude, riding a mile at 5 mph on a stationary bike would take you a whopping 12 minutes. But hey, who's counting, right? Just pedal away and enjoy the virtual scenery passing you by at a snail's pace. Like, you might even break a sweat after all that intense effort.

Answer 2

To calculate the time it would take to ride a mile at 5 mph on a stationary bike, you can use the formula: time = distance/speed. In this case, time = 1 mile / 5 mph = 0.2 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you would convert 0.2 hours to minutes by multiplying by 60, resulting in 12 minutes. Therefore, it would take 12 minutes to ride a mile at 5 mph on a stationary bike.

Answer 3

Well, isn't that just a lovely question! If you're riding a mile at 5 mph on a stationary bike, it would take you about 12 minutes to complete the ride. Just imagine the beautiful scenery you could paint in your mind as you pedal along at a steady pace. Remember, it's not about how fast you go, but the joy you find in the journey.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Looking 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.

Answer 6

That 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.
