Bike Pace Chart
Every riding speed from 10 to 50 km/h, converted to mph and to pace per kilometre and per mile. Print it for the wall, or keep it on your phone — the speed column stays put while you scroll.
- Full 10–50 km/h range
- Print-ready
- Exact conversions
The chart
For a single ride rather than the whole table, the bike speed calculator solves any distance and time directly. If you are building a race around one of these speeds, the triathlon pace calculator turns it into splits and a finish time.

How the chart is calculated
Conversions use the exact definition 1 mile = 1.609344 km. Pace per kilometre is 3,600 ÷ speed in km/h, in seconds; pace per mile is 3,600 ÷ speed in mph. Every value is rounded to the nearest second, so a row read backwards can differ from the calculator by a second — the homepage solver always works from your unrounded inputs. Which gear produces these speeds is the gear speed calculator’s question, and what they cost in power is the watts calculator’s.
Limitations
- Pace assumes an even speed. Real rides surge and coast, so treat the chart as planning figures.
- Values are rounded to the nearest second and the nearest 0.1 mph for print.
Frequently asked questions
How do I read the bike pace chart?
Find your speed in the first column. The same row gives that speed in mph and the pace it works out to per kilometre and per mile — at 30 km/h, 18.6 mph and 2:00 per km (3:13 per mile).
What pace is 25 km/h?
25 km/h is 15.5 mph, a pace of 2:24 per kilometre or 3:52 per mile. It is the row most new club riders live on — a solid endurance speed on the flat.
Why does pace change so fast at low speeds?
Pace is time divided by distance, so it is not linear in speed. Going from 10 to 15 km/h saves 2:00 per km; going from 45 to 50 km/h saves only about 8 seconds per km. The chart makes the squeeze visible.
Can I print the chart?
Yes — the print button above the chart prints the table on its own, without the rest of the page. It is sized to sit on a garage or pain-cave wall next to the bike.
Is pace or speed better for training?
Speed is what the bike measures and what gearing and power produce, so most cycling training is planned in speed or watts. Pace is handy for comparing with running, setting triathlon expectations, and feeling how long a kilometre takes at a given effort.
Keep working the numbers
The chart is the map; the calculators walk the route. The bike speed calculator solves your actual rides, the gear speed calculator connects speed to gearing and cadence, the watts to speed calculator prices each row in power, the triathlon pace calculator builds a race from a chosen speed, and the stationary bike calculator covers the indoor version of the same table.
