Sadly I don't have a computer on my Hybrid, so I'll have to load up Strava and give it a bash. My courses are all mountains so my average will be very low.

Mine cruises at about 30 with the engine on, and I pedal around 7-15 with the engine off. :-) http://cdn.twospoke.com/images/5/6/4/5/fruit-pickup-bike-1b.jpg

Went on a "Old Pharts Ride" with the Colorado Springs Cycling Club last week, I was the ONLY, Cro-mo steel frame/fork bike there, I'm 230lbs, the bike is 27lbs stock and I ride with 10lb. rear rack pack. Everyone else was on a "carbon fiber" road bike and well under 200lbs, man I was getting killed up steep hills and long grades but on one huge downhill, I went into a "full tuck" and let it fly, when I passed the group I was at 43 mph and finally started braking!! Has to be some vengence somewhere on a ride, LOL!

IDK...How strong a rider are you?

Hybrids will never be as fast as road bikes, due to the use of the drops and assuming a more aerodynamic riding position with road bikes. Something whic is absent on hybrids.

That's not too mention all of the other variables already stated...

my fastest to date was 36mph even now. Downhill, no kids.

while the kids give a good push in their trailer, the additional drag slows it down.
