I'm a horrible rider. I can only ride 1 or 2 times a week and I don't care anything about going fast. 15 mph average is a GOOD day for me. I put mountainbike gearing on my 25 pound Motobecane Mirage roadbike ( cheap bike). At the Hilly Hundred
bike ride I see all kinds of riders. You pass some but get passed alot at my speed.
Still I have seen people stopped halfway up a steep hill on their $2500 bikes, with racing gearing and team jerseys, muscles locked-up and gasping for air. Then theres people wearing jeans riding Walmart bikes that blow by you like your sitting still. Some ride for pride, some ride for fun
