Damn dudes! you sound like a right bunch of nerds. Go at whatever speed you feel comfortable doing and enjoy the scenery. The emphasis on speed and athleticism is very off putting to the casual cyclist who just wants to get from A to B. So if you can all grow up a bit it would be much appreciated.
Did you ever stop to consider that for some people a comfortable speed is one where you are sweating, working hard & going damn quickly? Also that seeing a fast cyclist in the distance & trying to catch the is part of their enjoyment of cycling, knowing that some people won't be caught but the fun is in the trying regardless.
One would have to question the mentality of a leisure or utility cyclist just going from A to B who is put off or intimidated by competitive, performance or sporting cyclists who are trying to push their abilities to their limits in some form. Next you'll be saying utility drivers will be put off by those people who chose to go out & improve the driving skills be it on track, through advanced driver tuition or are involved in competitive motorsport!
