1. What is Stationary Bike Pace?

Stationary bike pace measures your cycling speed in miles per hour (mph). It helps track workout intensity and progress over time.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the basic speed formula:

Where:

• \( Distance \) — Miles traveled
• \( Time \) — Hours spent cycling

Explanation: This simple calculation gives your average speed during the workout.

3. Importance of Pace Calculation

Details: Tracking your cycling pace helps monitor fitness improvements, set training goals, and maintain consistent workout intensity.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter distance in miles and time in hours. For partial hours (e.g., 30 minutes = 0.5 hours). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It gives average speed. For more precise metrics, consider using a bike computer that measures instantaneous speed.

Q2: What's a good stationary bike pace?
A: Beginners typically cycle at 10-12 mph, while advanced cyclists may maintain 15-20 mph or more.

Q3: Should I include warm-up/cool-down time?
A: For training purposes, you might want to calculate pace for just the active portion of your workout.

Q4: How does this compare to outdoor cycling?
A: Stationary biking often feels harder at the same speed due to constant pedaling without coasting.

Q5: Can I use kilometers instead?
A: This calculator uses miles. For km, convert distance to miles (1 km = 0.621371 miles) or modify the formula.
