You mean the mph you (or random average person) are traveling? No, don't know really... Maybe 15 mph? 20? That's just a wild guess, though.

i mean more like, how long would it take the average person to go 7 miles type thing.
right now it is taking me an hour and a half to go 13-16 miles. but that's on my 3rd highest gear(mostly) and with lots of wind and hills. do you think that's slow?
i'm also trying to figure out how long it will take me to get to work. i'll do a test run on sunday to be sure....but in the meantime i'm anxious about it.

Ahhh. Hrm. That's hard to tell, too, and depends a lot on the rider and hugely on the type of bike. When I was in top shape and biking to work fairly regularly, I'd still get zipped past by guys on road bikes, since I was on a mountain bike. But I'd say you're making good time - it usually took me about an hour to an hour and a half to go about 11 miles, on fairly even terrain, depending on the wind and my fatigue levels.

(Damnit, now I want to go biking. But I really ought to be studying...)
