5 mile bike ride time through the city?

Question

my car is in rough shape and im the kind of person that hates to be late. i have summer school starting tomorrow at 720am and im planning on taking the bike. when i map quested the trip with shortest distance, it came out to 4.9 miles. the route is city the whole way with a few hills. about how long should that take me?

im riding a hybrid bike with medium sized tires, and am in decent shape, but would rather not make it to school real sweaty, so i dont plan on going as fast as i can on the ride there.

any help would be great. i wanna sleep in as much as possible haha.

Answer 1

on a hybrid, give yourself at least a half hour the first time, then you can judge from that how much time it takes you!

Answer 2

I used to commute to my job, about 8 miles with quite a few traffic lights.  I think it took about 30-45 minutes.
