How long will it take to bike to school?

Question

I have a mountain bike and am thinking of riding the 2.4 miles to school each day this next year.

I'm quite overweight and strong and the surface is flat nearly the whole way there.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Lose weight?

Answer 2

It depends on stoplights and whatnot, but I'd say fifteen minutes is a good estimate at a leisurley pace.

Good for you.  It's a great idea.

Answer 3

10 mph = 15 minutes.

Get good and you could do it in under 7.

Get really good (you said it was flat) and under five might be possible!

Do it every day and anything can happen! Good luck!

Answer 4

It might take you 15 minutes to start. After while you can cut it down to 10 minutes.

Answer 5

test it out. Ride that route almost everyday for the rest of the summer, and you will be in better shape, and will know all the tricks to get to school on time.

Answer 6

I often cycle to a railway station three miles away. It takes about fifteen minutes. You will often travel faster than a car - I remember one time seeing a bus at the start of my journey and when I reached the end it took seven minutes for it to reach the point I had.

Answer 7

Its only 2.4 miles.  Try it and see.

Answer 8

it depends on how fast you are going

how many stoplight

if you have to cross the road, you may have to wait a while for cars to pass by

since it is mostly flat, then it will go by a little quicker to get there.

so to answer your question, i don't know how long it  will take to get to your school cause we don't know any of the things i listed above

good luck! :)

Answer 9

15 minutes

Answer 10

about 15 minutes! IF:

1)there are not stops.. like a light or a stop sign..

2)u dont stop pushing yourself :)

but if u go too fast u are gonna get to the school all sweaty and chiks don't like that!!!

I like your attitude :) go ahead do it.. remember to not eat junk food and dont eat unless you are hungry!! for dinner eat salad :) in breakfast eat all u wanna eat!
