Average Speed: Experienced cyclists can ride at significantly higher speeds. On flat terrain, they can maintain an average speed of 15-20 miles per hour (24-32 kilometers per hour) or even faster. Some competitive cyclists can exceed 25 mph (40 kph) in certain conditions.

However, it's a question a lot of beginners ask. To satisfy your curiosity, the answer is that according to Strava data, the average male cyclist rides at an average speed of 20.4 kph (12.7 mph), whilst the average female hits 17.7 kph (11 mph).

Cycling is a versatile sport that caters to a wide range of fitness levels. For beginners, the average cycling speed can vary greatly based on several factors. These factors include the type of bike, the terrain, and the cyclist’s physical condition. On a flat surface, a beginner can expect to average around 10-14 mph on a road bike.

The available data indicates that people aged 25-30 are the fastest cyclists on average. This is unsurprising, since 25-30 is when most people reach their physical peak. The average speed for cyclists aged 25-30 is 21.7 mph (34.9 kph), while their functional threshold power is 180w.
