If you had to pedal..

This sounds like the perfect reason to have a gas/elect. hybred

I could pedal as far asI could ride a bike- even without removing the chain- my seat is almost as high as my road bike- and I'm gonna soon get a quick release binder for it-

my wheels and tires are 700c or narrow otherwise

except if there were big hills- then the motor weight counts more and age so I'd probably be walkin' yes indeed....

Had a flat the other day- walked maybe a mile and a half- getting a pump and carrying a spare tube....
