Speed Of Your Commute?

I am curious. How fast do you get along, on your commute?

- What is your cruising speed, I mean when you are up to speed and tootling along? 10 mph? 15 mph? 20 mph?

- What is your average speed including stops, lights, speeding up, slowing down? As in distance divided by time?

Even when I work hard to spend as much time above 20 mph as possible, my average speed for the journey is low, about 15 mph. I have a pretty short commute, but it is all urban riding.

You guys with longer or less urban commutes, do you ride faster or manage higher average speeds?
