So how much kilometers is it then? (both for the car trip and the bike trip, depending on the area they can vary). Btw I don't know where you get the 10mph figure, but assuming it applies to you without trying it is starting off on the wrong foot. Depending on age, fitness etc that can easily be 15mph, including hills.

I don't know why you got downvoted. It's a fair question.

How fast can you travel through town by bike and car? The average travelling speed in Copenhagen is 15.5 km/h for cyclists and 27 km/hour for cars. In places with green wave for cyclist the average speed is 20.72 km/h.
