The time it takes to bike the distance of a 20-minute car ride can vary depending on several factors, including the distance, terrain, your fitness level, and the speed at which you cycle.
On average, a person riding a bicycle at a moderate pace can cover a distance of around 10 to 15 miles per hour (16 to 24 kilometers per hour) on flat terrain. If we assume an average speed of 12 miles per hour (19 kilometers per hour), you can estimate the time it would take to bike a 20-minute car ride by using the formula:
Time (in minutes) = Distance (in miles) ÷ Average Speed (in miles per hour)
Let's calculate it based on this assumption:
Distance = (20 minutes / 60 minutes) * Average Car Speed
Assuming an average car speed of 30 miles per hour:
Distance = (20 minutes / 60 minutes) * 30 miles per hour = 10 miles
Using the average cycling speed of 12 miles per hour:
Time = Distance ÷ Average Cycling Speed = 10 miles ÷ 12 miles per hour
The estimated time to bike a 20-minute car ride would be approximately 50 minutes. However, please note that this is just an estimation, and actual biking times may vary depending on the factors mentioned earlier.
