Most of my rides are very hilly around 20-25 miles and I average about 14 mph on those. If I climb the pass near my house It is about 5 miles to the top and it takes me about 40 minutes to get there so I average around 10 mph on those rides. On the rides that are more flat, although it is near impossible to find any where flat where I live, I average around 16-17mph.

About 6 miles a day of bus/bike commuting (6 miles on the bike, 19 miles on the bus) with a quick bike spin around at lunch.
Flat terrain (thank you God), average speed 7 miles per hour, a mix of city streets and suburbs neighborhood roads.

Great walk down memory lane. Especially the part where Brandy writes that she's a total newbie rider and is just doing a 50 miler that weekend...

Your average speed can be affected by what you are riding too. When I ride Ole Blue, the Bianchi Nyala, my averages are much slower. But it has little tiny rings compared to my road bike. So I can be pedalling my brains out and still be going lots slower.
