160 mpg and 29 mph is too much fun.
"Too much fun" is exactly the way I feel. I have been an enthusiastic cyclist all my life and I just love riding bikes, but I am getting older, which means I can't go as fast and I get tired more quickly.
My MB is so much fun because it is so fast! Easily 30 mph on the flat. That is such a thrill for an old pedal cyclist! It is what I always wished I could do! And long steep hills are easy! It's like they are not even there! A hilly 50-mile ride is quick and almost effortless!
However, I only take my MB on errands where I think it will be fairly secure while locked up - good neighborhood, short-duration stop (less than about 1/2 hr), and with a highly visable place to lock it up (like right in front of a main entrance). It those conditions are not met, I use an old (but good) pedal bike instead.
