I took the virgin Mt. Bike for a shake-down cruise. The good news is that I never had to walk the bike up a hill, the bad news is I only averaged just under 10 miles per hour, on a paved bike path, in the mountains. I was expecting to do closer to 14 or 15 miles per hour. I lucked out and the frame size is perfect. I am thinking of getting a cargo trailer, to attach to the back of the bike. I was pleased with the bikes and my performance.........:)

10mph is not so bad. If it is a sustainabilty rate, would certainly puts some miles on over the course of a day. For an "old feller" seems pretty good for a first time tryout
