Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Cycling speed is distance divided by elapsed time in hours, the same definition used by every bike computer. Pace, shown alongside, is the inverse — minutes per kilometre — useful for interval planning. Calories are estimated at 8 MET for moderate road cycling (about 16–19 km/h on flat ground), multiplied by kilos and hours; at 75 kg, an hour at that intensity burns roughly 600 kcal before wind, gradient or drafting adjustments.
Real roads are not wind tunnels. A 20 km/h headwind can erase 3–5 km/h of apparent speed, and a 5% grade costs more power than the flat figure suggests. Treat the calculator as a clean flat-ground baseline — then add subjective correction for hills, wind and surface, and compare efforts by power or heart rate when precision matters.
Calculate cycling speed from distance and time — see km/h, mph, pace per km and calories for cycling. Formula: Speed = distance / timeHours. Example: With 20km in 1h15m (1.25h): speed 16km/h, 9.94mph, pace 3:45/km, ~750 kcal for 75kg.
