Ive started the cycling challenge and I'm challenging myself to cycle every other day so 3-4 days a week as I haven't got much time ( I go to school ). Before yesterday I cycled only 6.2miles and today I cycled 14.9miles and I'm actually proud of myself but I'm worried because I am very slow and my average speed is 6.2mph

    I wouldn't worry about your speed. As you bike more, you build up speed and endurance.
