newbie biking slowly? on jamis aurora

hi folks
i am new to cycling and have a jamis aurora
i have a computer that tells me i go around 9mph when i'm chill and 15 mph when i'm pushing it on flat road
i have cages and sometimes use biking shoes
my tires are 1.15 or something like that
i've noticed that i get blown away sometimes by peeps on hybrids or mountain bikes
so the simple answer could be that i'm just not that strong yet, but i feel like i'm cranking away
is my speed kind of slow? i sure feel slow.
is the jamis particularly heavy? i often bike with a milk crate on the back as i use it for commuting around and groceries too
thanks for any help
