Formula used
- Counted days (D): either selected weekdays in the span, or calendar days.
- Ride frequency per day: f = R / D, where R is total rides.
- Per week: f_week = f × 7
- Per month (avg): f_month = f × 30.4375
- Per year (avg): f_year = f × 365.25
- Average interval: I_days = D / R and I_hours = (T_hours) / R
- Projection: R_future = f × D_future
- Goal pace: f_goal = R_goal / D_goal
How to use this calculator

Notes & tips
- If you ride only on weekdays, uncheck Sat and Sun.

- Use goals to build a realistic schedule with effort.
Ride frequency article
This calculator reports rides/day, rides/week, rides/month, average interval, and streaks. It can use calendar days or selected weekdays. In a 30‑day window, a 3/week habit is about 12–13 rides, while 5/week is about 21–22, for quick planning and reviews.
1) Typical ride frequency benchmarks
Read frequency as “rides per week.” Many riders treat 2 rides/week as maintenance, 3–4/week as steady progress, and 5+/week as a high‑volume block. Simple conversions: 2/week ≈ 8.7/month ≈ 104/year, while 4/week ≈ 17.3/month ≈ 208/year.
2) Frequency from totals inside a time window
When you know totals and days, the core rate is rides ÷ eligible days. Example: 18 rides in 45 calendar days equals 0.40 rides/day, which is 2.8 rides/week and ~12 rides/month. Using “selected weekdays only” increases the rate if you exclude rest days.
3) Interval view: average days between rides
Intervals answer “how long do I wait?” The weekly rate is 7 ÷ intervalDays. An average gap of 2.0 days implies 3.5 rides/week. A 4.0‑day gap implies 1.75 rides/week. Pair interval stats with streaks for consistency.
4) Date‑list mode: streaks, gaps, and outliers
Pasting ride dates unlocks streak and gap stats. Example gaps of 1, 2, 3, 2, 14 days give a median of 2 days. If you ignore gaps > 10 days, the “typical” gap better reflects normal weeks. “Longest streak” counts consecutive eligible days with rides.
5) Weekday distribution data for schedule design
Weekday breakdown reveals patterns you can plan around. A sample split: Mon 10%, Tue 18%, Wed 12%, Thu 20%, Fri 15%, Sat 15%, Sun 10%. If you prefer balance, aim to pull peaks toward 14–15% and spread volume across more days.
6) Rolling averages: recent vs overall
Short windows reduce noise. If your last 28 days contain 10 rides, that is 2.5 rides/week. If your last 90 days contain 24 rides, that is 1.87 rides/week. Comparing both shows whether you are ramping up or drifting.
7) Goal planning with targets and allowed days
Goal planning turns a target into pace. Example: 20 rides in 30 days. If you ride Mon–Fri only, there are roughly 22 eligible days, so you need 0.91 rides/eligible day (about 4.7 rides/week). Enter completed rides to see remaining pace.
FAQs
1) What is ride frequency?
Ride frequency is how often you ride within a chosen period, usually shown as rides per week, month, or year. You can compute it from totals over time, or estimate it from average days between rides.
2) Which calculation mode should I pick?
Use Total + Date Range for clean reporting. Use List of Dates to see gaps and streaks. Use Average Interval when you track days between rides directly. Choose the mode that matches the data you can enter accurately.
3) Why do weekday selections change the rate?
If you exclude certain weekdays, the calculator counts fewer eligible days. The same rides spread across fewer eligible days produces a higher rides/day and rides/week rate, which better reflects a weekday‑only riding plan.
4) What does “dedupe same day” do?
It treats multiple sessions logged on one calendar date as a single riding day. This highlights habit consistency instead of session volume. Disable it if you want every ride session counted separately in totals.
5) What is the gap outlier filter for?
Big breaks can distort averages and projections. The outlier filter lets you ignore gaps above a threshold (for example, > 10 days) so “typical” gaps and interval‑based frequency better match your normal weeks.
6) Are projections guaranteed accurate?
No. Projections assume your current frequency continues. Weather, travel, injury, or motivation can change outcomes. Recalculate after a week or two of new rides to keep goals and pacing realistic.
