I got signed up for a 25 mile Bike Tour for some charity. The

I suppose you could, 25 mile is a short travel, and you can always man up and pedal harder if there is any hill.

Those rides are slow as fuck, any bike will do

Okay thanks. I was looking at the pictures of their website and these seem like long term bikers. All spandex, those weird pointy helmets. And here I show up with a fat cruiser.

FUCKING FILL UR TYRES TO THE RECCOMENDED PRESSURE DICTATED ON THE FUCKING SIDEWALLS

Do fill tires to rec PSI--this will help with speed.

Also: make sure the height of the seat is proper (so your knees aren't coming up to your elbows).

You should be fine. 25 mi is not much.

I took a bunch of people, girls included for a 60 mile ride. They have wide mtbs and it was a breeze even though some of them never rode in years. The elevation gain was 1 foot over the entire 60 miles in the canadian prairies. Should be easy if its totally flat. Pic is related, not the rider tho

what is the charity called? I signed up for a 100 miler in a few months but they offer 25,50,60,75, and 100.

The only potential problem i can see with this is, even if the seat is comfy on short rides, the upright sitting position may cause butthurt (literally) quicker on longer rides, as compared to a sportier riding position.

The unit you choose for this purpose is irrelevant to the performance gains.

I wonder how did it go for OP

Chris Hoy said he used to have to stop himself from intervening when he saw some mongo with knees up to his chin. Which happened all day.
