I'd have to agree. My cousin came to visit a couple of weeks ago and brought her bike and was excited about going on a ride with me and my wife. Turned out her bike was a Schwinn cruiser, and even though my wife and I were riding as slowly as we could, my cousin was hurting big time climbing what I would say was something less than "gently rolling" terrain.
