My personal average speeds When average speed of cyclists is higher than average speed of motorists When I went with a local Oxford chain-gang, the average speed was something like 23mph for a flattish course around Otmoor. If it’s a club run of more than 20mph, I think a chain gang is probably more important. Of course, the average speed of a club run will all depends who you go with. Usually our old club runs would be done at around 14mph (23 km/h) and that didn’t include the three tea stops during the day. I don’t know if people still do reliability rides. It was a good test for the club-rider it could still be done at a non-competitive, but ‘brisk’ pace. Usually, the reliability rides involved riding 50 miles in 3 hours. People often ask what is a good average speed for cycling? When I was in Otley CC, we used to have ‘reliability rides’ (think sportive which doesn’t cost anything). A look at different average speeds in different types of cycling.
