Cyclometer accuracy help

Hi, I 've finally calibrated my meter correctly by the roll out method and odometers from several cars,i found out the new correct distance is longer than my previous distance , it means when my previous reading read 1 mile,i actually ridden 1.4 mile. Now does it mean my speed,average/max and mileage was more than they actually was? Thanks in advance

Bummer.

Just when you thought you were averaging 22 mph this happens!
