We only have 114 miles on ours so we are fairly new to riding them. But as a 54 year old that hasn't really done any riding since I was a kid, I can tell you we are pedaling unless drifting down a hill. And when we get done ....

Thanks for the insight. I'm almost same age as you, but have been riding pretty regularly since I was a kid. Yes, I know that feeling well of legs feeling like jelly after long, hard rides. Still have always seen biking as much better exercise than walking or running, as you aren't constantly 'landing' on your feet/ankles, so easier on them.
One day, we probably will transition to electric bikes. Not ready yet, though, because to us, it just feels too much like 'cheating', haha. :)
