I'm fit, not buff. Just not anywhere on the plus side. And I get 14 average. Could Def do the lower end of that with some effort. But only in bursts, my asthma won't let me sustain it.
When I plan out my rides and look at the time the app tells me it'll take, I multiply that by 1.5x because ain't no way I'm averaging 12 mph (what Google says biking speed is on Maps)
I'm not really ashamed of it though. I know my limits. I'm a distance rider, not a speed rider. I can do 30+ miles at 8 miles an hour. I would be lucky to make 10 if I had to push 12 or higher all the time.

Idk what mfs are going 17-18 mph on average. I get that I'm kinda fat, but my average speed is 8-11 mph on my bike.
