Many of my rides are "slow going" even when the lanes are clear.
Last fall I went out for a leisurely ride and did 30 miles on a flat, empty rail trail. My computer recorded my top speed as being 10.7 mph and my average speed (with stops removed) was 9.1 mph. With stops included my average was 4.3 mph, as I took 7 hours to complete the ride. Ate lunch and took 2 walks during the 7 hours.
Usually my high will be around 17 and my average around 12, but I can ride slower and be perfectly fine with it.
