First, I don't know that's true. Based on your claims here, I think my
typical riding speed is faster than yours. I'm sure I couldn't keep up
with Zen or Mark, but I suspect most of us old guys here would ride at
similar speeds. I know that on the club rides I attend (I'm typically
the oldest of the attendees) I usually finish in the front half of the
group, and often first. Not that they're races. I just enjoy speeding up
at times.

Not that it matters. I dispute the implication that faster riders
naturally crash more. It takes miles of riding to get fast, and people
with miles of experience tend to be more skillful.

Frank, obviously you do not ride with a Garmin and believe that my claim of riding an average soeed of 11 mph is slow.

You're right. I don't use a Garmin. I still use ordinary cyclometers - a
couple Avocets that I've managed to keep running, and a couple Cateyes,
etc. They give me average speed. 11 mph _is_ slow. I don't think I've
ever averaged that slow unless on a recreation ride with my wife,
grandkids or a good friend who is quite slow.
Those meters only sverage moving speed.
No, they don't, dumbass. Autostop was on option on the better models up until the early 90's. Most models only captured total time, not moving time. If Frank has an older model it's more likely it only capture total time, so if he's seeing faster than 11 with total time, he's likely going faster than you.
You are supposed to be an engineer and you don't understand the effects of stop lights and a 30-45 minute pause at a coffee shop on a meter that measures average speed from total time from turning the meter on?
It's settable on your garmin, so you have that off, and 11 is about right if you average in all the stops, but why would you want to average in all your stops? You can get both moving time and total time on your display at the time.
All I can say is that you're some kind of engineer.
Yup, actually a professor of Mechanical Engineering
