More than once I've found I've been able to get around town faster by bike than by car. Read about one such story and calculate your own true average speed at my new post: <a href="http://mark.stosberg.com/Cycling/true_mph.html" rel="nofollow">Calculate Your True MPH</a>. The results my surprise you! I also want to add that bikes can work surprisingly well for hauling-- last week I pulled 80 pound load across town from Lowes. The speed was slower, but the pedaling didn't need to be particularly hard. (On the other hand, the folks at <a href="http://www.pedalpeople.com/index.php?page=12" rel="nofollow">Pedal People</a> look like they have to work a little bit...)
