What’s a good average speed for cycling?
The majority of riders can average a speed of about 15 mph on a one hour ride. A good speed for a beginner is 10 mph, but you should be able to get to 15 mph pretty quickly. If you start training every once in a while, you could get your average up to 18 mph, but training on a regular basis could get you to 22 mph.
Why am I not getting faster at cycling?
You don’t respect your rest. You can’t get faster without going slower. Deep rest is less essential when you’re doing endurance training (aka riding lots). But when you hit those pedals hard, you suck your glycogen stores dry and break down muscle fibers. They cannot fully restock and repair if you keep stressing them.
