Its simply not as fast as my road bike, and you have to spin to go much above 15 mph,
which is good training. Its ideal for riding slower but not having to hold back a lot.

And simply better to ride around town on than my road bike, though I routinely do
about 15 miles most days I ride it for training, as well as just using it to get about.

This sort of thing :

Fit a deep basket to the rear rack, makes it ten times more useful.
