If you keep commuting regularly your regular speed will start creeping up. I was passed by everyone when I first started, and then about a month and a half ago with no effort on my part I suddenly started catching people. Sure, they're usually people on knobby-tired mountain bikes or fully-loaded tourers, but I was left in their dust when I first started commuting.
