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. 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? All I can say is that you're some kind of engineer.

As do Garmin connect and Strava ie doesn?t count the stationary time, aka
waiting at traffic lights or time at the cafe or so on.

    I have an 830 and a 1030 and neither one of those has an autostop feature.

lol...wow...._ALL_ Garmin cycling computers have an autopause function, They've had that feature since Garmin first released cycling computers in 2006.

Using Auto Pause
You can use the Auto Pause feature to pause the timer automatically when you stop moving or when your speed drops below a specified value. This feature is helpful if your ride includes stop lights or other places where you need to slow down or stop.
NOTE: History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or paused.
1 Select > Activity Profiles.
2 Select a profile.
3 Select Auto Features > Auto Pause.
4 Select an option:
• Select When Stopped to pause the timer automatically when you stop moving.
• Select Custom Speed to pause the timer automatically when your speed drops below a specified value.
5 If necessary, customize optional time data fields (Adding a Data Screen, page 51).

And if you push "stop" on the clock, when you restart, they restart the mileage from zero. Now it has saved the previous ride and you can downlooad the same total mileage. But if you leave it, it measures the time from start to finish regardless of speed.
