What are average bike times for girls around the ages of 15-17? i dont do much biking but without the little straps to keep ur foot on the pedal i can do a 3:47. is that bad? i decided to get on a gym bike nd i got that. im sure i cud go a bit faster. Is that a good time for a start? and would the bike help a runner?
 
It's hard to say, exercise bikes are all different and you do not have to overcome wind resistance or climb hills. The resistance setting on the bike will make a lot of difference too. You want to take it easy and do a warm up ride for the first 10 min. You want to pedal at 70-90 rpm's with just enough resistance to get your breathing to the point where you can still talk but not sing. You can't expect to be as fast as someone that rides a bike a lot or takes spinning classes.
