I know from experience. I had a 26" bike with a very cushy spring seat and ape hangers
when I was in Jr. HIgh School. I loved it dearly and could make it go pretty d**n fast.

But it would be hard to "ride" for a middle aged person.

Too much energy loss trying to make the wheels turn and it would create upper back muscle pains.

Could you hit a front porch with a newspaper while riding it pretty damn fast?
