"A question."

I was on my sister's excercise bike today (since I'm not doing PE during the holidays, and I doubt I'll play footie until I go away to France, I've started doing it once a day), and it has a display thingie to tell you how far you've gone, etc.

So anyways, I was going around about 15 most of the time. Thing is, I don't know what the 15 means. Miles per hour? Metres/second?

And I did it for about 20 mins, and eventually did a distance of 5.0. 5 what?! Miles?!

HELP.

yep, but that's not particularly fast, so I'm guessing it's on miles

Still, 15km/h would end up as 5km in 20mins, no?

Km are smaller than miles, not bigger....

Generally, these things are set to measure Km by default, but I don't think yours was. The '15' you were doing is miles per hour, and over 20 mins that comes to about..... (drumroll)... 5 miles!

Hrm, I guess so.

I guess riding a mile is easier than I thought.

Thanks.

Well it can only be miles. Metres would be too small. Km would be too big. I guess it is possible to go 5 miles in 20 mins on a bike.
