  • This site has a discussion about it. Unfortunately, they are using mph... "There are a lot of variables that make that hard to answer. Terrain, weather, weight of bike all affect speed. But in general, the more you ride, the faster you get. But I would suggest investing in a cheap cyclometer instead on relying on google maps and the clock. It will give you more "real time" feedback that you will probably find helpful. Good point gearboy, running time and moving time are two different things. A 30 sec stop light or two or even a couple of slow downs can really affect the overall average." "When I first started road biking a couple of years ago, my initial goal was to go 12 miles in one hour (flat, straight, no stopping trail) on a 24+ pound road bike. A few thousand miles and a couple of years later (and on a Cervelo P2K), I can do that same distance in 34 minutes. The lesson is: Ride more. No matter how fast you go, you'll always be getting faster." Source and further information: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=152334&start=1&posts=9
