At least for replies that are talking about "average" speed is "the entire average speed from the time you leave to the time you arrive at work, including time spent sitting stopped at the stoplights, slowing down for obstacles, etc etc".
Well Paul... I didn't want to brag, but...
All I have to do is mount my GPS next to my wireless bike comp. The electronics go crazy and I can easily post speeds of 70 mph or more..

Seriously.. I'm in the #1 camp in your above post. I'm sure it can be done; just not by me. Besides, I'm not in a big hurry to get to work soaking wet anyway.
