You "average" 15mph on an 8" wheeled Carryme as a 48 gear inch singlespeed including starts and stops at intersections? .. that means you would routinely have to approach 25mph to achieve that kind of average speed.. and in traffic... nice feat .. would require frequent spinning at a cadence of around 175.. at 20mph, 140 .. at 15mph 105... maybe your speedometer is not calibrated correctly....
