80 lbs. of bike will be REALLY hard with hills. My bike is about 16 lbs. and one time I had to switch with someone who had a heavier bike (I was in better shape than he was and we were about the same size)(OK - just looked it up - it was a 43 lb. bike) and it was SO much harder! I was amazed at what a few pounds will do on a bike. I can't imagine basically carrying a small adult - not to mention any added weight from passengers or gear! Yikes!
