I know there are a lot of factors to be considered here (miles per day, hills, weather, type of bike, etc). But let’s say you were to bike from SF to LA. Anyone have an idea of how long it would take? Ballpark. Guesstimate.
I’m terrible at figuring this stuff out. I Googled it and couldn’t really find much.

Let’s say you can cycle at a steady 25 mph, it would take you 20 hours continuous cycling to do it.
Well. My bike is not ridden by humans and it going 5 million miles an hour. You do the math!!
Me? On my bike? Prolly about 3 yrs, give or take a year.
I’ll convert to kilometres because that’s what I work it – it’s easy to average about 100 kilometres a day (about 60 miles)... so it would take about 8 to 10 days.
@ ligtlyseared. How did you figure that out? Like. What formula
Haha. You guys are funny.
So now my next question is…would I die biking on Route 1? Hahaha. Just kidding.
500 miles at 5 million mph is 1 ten thousandth of an hour.
So that’s how you work it out. You calculate 1 ten thousandth of an hour.
Gee thanks. math nightmares
And here I am worried about riding mine five feet.
