Question

How much time will it take to ride bike 2.5 miles?

Answer 1

not long, maybe thirty minutes if not less

Answer 2

Uhhhm, it depends on your speed.

I can do it in around 5 minutes if traffic and road conditions allow but if I'm riding at a very leisurely pace, it could take 20 to 30 minutes.

Answer 3

If you average 12 miles per hour, it will take you about 14 minutes to cover 2.5 miles.  A very fit rider will average around 18 mph.  2.5 miles will take about 9 minutes.

It will take a lot more than a 2.5 mile ride to reach a fitness level required to average 18 mph.  By all means, ride that bicycle.  I wish I lived that close to work.  I could get rid of one of my cars.  Savings would be huge.  I would be able to ride my bicycle just about year round.  When we get snow, I would just walk.

Good Luck  

Answer 4

I ride a bike back and forth to work (it's about 3 miles) and I can do it in 20 minutes. When I was younger I used to ride 60 miles nonstop on a bicycle and I found that you can keep up a steady 10 mph without much effort. A lot depends on the wind since 80% of the work you do on a bike is overcoming wind resistance.
