You just can't average 20+++mph when there are frequent traffic lights, stops signs and a lot of traffic.
My situation exactly. I'm lucky if I can get 13 (good) on my hybrid, and roughly 2-3 mph slower than if I were on a road bike.
Also things such as wind direction and hills have a lot to do with speed averages....20+++ mph averages are only possible on internet forums and not in the real world.
The truth has never been spoken so succinctly.
