How long would it take to ride a bike to the moon?

Taking our distance of 240,000 miles, that works out to an average speed of 37 mph. Of course, that is 267 days of pedaling 24/7 at a considerable level of exertion. If instead you pedaled for six hours a day, it would take four times as long—so that’s almost three years, and it’s not even all the way to the moon.

Can I ride a bike in the dark?

Can you walk around the moon?

The Apollo astronauts managed a walking speed of about 2.2km/h, which is around half of the typical speed on Earth. At this speed, you would travel the 10,900km circumference of the Moon in 91 days of non-stop walking.

How long does it take to bike 10 miles?

A good average for a ten mile bike ride is between 45 minutes and an hour. If you’re a beginner, it’s more likely to be closer to the hour mark. Over time your average speed for each of your rides will increase and so the time it takes to cycle 10 miles will be reduced.

How long would it take to drive to the Moon at 100 mph?

For the sake of our discussion, we’ll assume there wouldn’t be any speed limits in space, so we’ll drive 100 miles per hour. If we drive non-stop sans bathroom breaks, sandwich stops, and no sight-seeing, it would take us about 100 days to reach the moon.

What should cyclists wear at night?

Wear a reflective jacket or jersey. Cycling-specific jackets like the LIV Cefira Wind Jacket and LIV Flara Thermal Jacket and Longsleeve Jersey have reflective accents that can help you be seen.

How long would it take to pedal a bicycle to the Moon?

Of course, that is 267 days of pedaling 24/7 at a considerable level of exertion. If instead you pedaled for six hours a day, it would take four times as long—so that’s almost three years, and it’s not even all the way to the moon. What about the rest of the trip? One option would be to just stop pedaling.

Where does the tour of the Moon start?

The ride will begin with a spectacular trek through the Colorado National Monument. After exiting the Monument, riders may elect to tackle a metric century through the beautiful farm country and surrounding areas of Fruita or opt for the classic 41-mile loop back to Grand Junction.

How long did it take to put a man on the Moon?

Kennedy vowed to put a man on the moon before the decade was out, and as it was, NASA barely made it. Luckily, it took the Apollo 11 spacecraft just four days to get there. Making the trip by bike would have blown through that deadline.
