Haha if only! Tour de Work?
That mostly depends on how many blind turns and intersections you have along the way. I go through primarily businesses with parking lots and school zones, which are both areas that are not safe to ride too fast depending on the time of day and year. My commutes are faster during summer because I don't have to wait for five signal-happy crossing guards, and they're slower going home because motorists act stupid during rush hour.
I use MapMyRide every day--my average commute speed stays within 13-14mph.
