02 / YOUR RESULT
26.667
Kilometers per hour

Default inputs are examples. Change them to match your situation.

How to use this calculator

Find average speed over a ride. Enter distance (km), moving time (minutes). The result updates when you change an input. To compare two sets of inputs, save scenario A, then enter the second set; the result panel shows the difference.

Formula and limits

Average speed = distance ÷ (moving minutes/60). Excludes stopped time if moving time is entered.

Worked example

The following example uses the calculator’s starting values. It is an illustration of the method, not a recommended target.

InputExample value
Distance (km)40
Moving time (minutes)90

Kilometers per hour: 26.667

Interpreting your result

Use the distance and time conventions specified in the labels. These tools calculate descriptive metrics, not individualized exercise prescriptions or performance guarantees.

Comparing alternatives

Save the first result as scenario A, then change one input. The comparison shows the numeric difference; it does not label either result as better. Choose inputs that describe realistic alternatives. Values shown on screen are rounded, so calculations from rounded intermediate results may differ slightly.
