how slow am I?

your statements about how fast YOU ride are not the problem. It's the ignorant comments about what constitutes a "normal" bike ride or "normal" bike speed that I find galling.
You apparently do not understand what average means.

to coin a "phrase" from bikeforums: +1

and the "attitude" that comes across in the posts...

Common, we are all in the same sport, getting out and doing it for ourselves! Why do we need to argue about something so not important. Who cares who is faster, rides longer, has more endurance, etc? The most important thing is that you get out and ride, no matter how long, fast, uphill , downhill, mountain, road, cross, hybrid, tricycle, unicycle...... If you want to improve- then just doing, otherwise sitting on the board and compare youself to others is POINTLESS. Remember, the time you spent here on this thread could be used outside doing riding!

Well said, I wish I didn't have to be at work now.

I am pretty sure that online discussion forums are not the best place to judge anyone's attitude.
Again, I am glad that all of us made cycling a part of our lives.
