Congrats on ducking the blade. And check the tire diameter you input into the comp to make sure it's for your tire size. You can do a roll-out test to get an accurate measurement if you don't trust the chart that came w/ your comp. The speeds you listed are attainable w/ a mtb. I've hit those same speeds on my mtb, usually when there's a tailwind or no wind at all.
This morning's commute was super slow. So much traffic packed tightly together made it hard to filter through. Saw a couple bike cops along the route so I figured I'd play it safe and not run red lights even when the peds were doing so.
When I got to work, the Salvation Army volunteer had set up her donation stand next to the bike rack so I locked up, and donated $1. Hope she watches my bike for me.
