I believe it.

Before I f'd my back I was an intense mountain biker and it has been a long time since I have gone out and enjoyed myself this much... I don't have the option to hike and ride slower so the extra stability, low speed control, and plushness of the Pug is pretty much perfect.

And we have this thing called winter, which is a dirty word now, but it will be back.
