I do not think I have ever had an average that high. Some days when I ride for exercise (no load on the bike, working hard with a high heart rate) I might be at 16 or 17 mph on a touring bike on the flats with minimal wind. But when you add the slower sections of the route with traffic, stop and go intersections, etc., I am lucky to have an average over 13 mph.

Yeah, I retired 8 years ago, just do not have enough time. But I have absolutely no desire to go back to work. I did not have enough time back when I was working either.
