Hi George, I have this same gearing on my bicycle with an 8 speed rear cog 11/34, I believe. 21-22 mph on flat roads is reachable without feeling like I'm going to throw myself off the bike. I don't travel with touring loads, just standard, tire changing stuff, water bottles, extra clothing etc. and around 235 lbs of mike on the bike. 16 mph is way off.
