well after some serious riding around town up and down san francisco hills it appears that the mkay bike is getting an actuall 100-125 mpg based on a riders weight of 160 lbs.
some of the larger hills slow down the bike and i occasionally need to do a light pedal to go up a hill. frankly i like the occasional pedaling it gives me a workout but now i can go much further distances without breaking much of a sweat, which is nice in social situations.
paid dividends the other weekend when i walked it home instead of driving home drunk. i put my ipod on and just trekked 2 miles pushing my bike. it's fairly light and easy to push. with a good podcast (email me for tips) and a solid beer buzz the walk is fairly enjoyable. so people! party on! drive safe, save lives, become a fit american. if you drink or party away from your home make sure you are with an mkay bike :)
the bike feels a little dangerous at top speeds. pretty fast to be going on a bike. front shock and disc brakes are a definite recommended upgrade. turn signals and horn should be added.
