Lowest sustained bike speed?

People are usually obsessed with more speed. But let's talk about low speeds.

So what's the lowest speed you've sustained (for say the best part of a minute or even longer), and it should be due to lack of performance, rather than deliberately.

When I got my first adult bike, in August 2021, it's fair to say I was not exactly a gifted athlete. The first time I tried a steep climb of 6%, I sustained a very slow speed of 1.5mph. I was able to balance just fine. An old man walking on the pavement walked up the hill substantially faster than me. These days I can do such a climb a bit quicker. I really was giving it my all. But I am super tall with literally no muscles, and have no athleticism to speak of.
