My wife has a car which measures average speed. We live out of town, about 10miles from the city center. Her car shows an average of 33-37km/h (google will convert it for you), consisting mostly of going to the city for work and giving the kids a lift to school. I have no problem averaging about the same (30-33km/h) doing my commute on my fixed gear.
