Nothing wrong with that. Keep at it and it'll be 15 in just under an hour before long

Ha ha fair enough. I'm lucky to hit 15 miles within the hour, but it's not due to traffic where I am, it's the god damn hills that slow me down

I've been riding for a few years , every week day as a commuter and for fun at weekends and I still don't go much further than 10 miles in an hour.

That's fine. Just trundle around, enjoying your riding. I started off at about 12mph average two years ago, now I'm doing my 13 mile commute in around 46 minutes. I'm quicker than some, slower than others. It'll do.

Ten miles in an hour is a great start - keep putting in those miles and it'll get even better

10 miles is awesome, let alone 10 miles in under an hour for a beginner. When I started back riding, in '09 I used to dream of averaging 10mph Well done. Keep on pedalling.

Well done, keep adding the miles!

@wolf37 keep at it , as long as you are happy and enjoying it why worry

 

[wolf37]

That has made me feel better thank you all was going to give up

Doesn't sound too bad to me when first starting out.

Bee-in-bonnet time: Is the bike set up right for you? Having the saddle too low is common with new cyclists and makes riding slow and hard work. To get a good starter set-up, have it so that with your heel on the pedal your leg is just about straight at the bottom of the stroke. When pedalling normally (using the ball of the foot) the leg should then have just about the right amount of bend in it and can be fine tuned from there.
