I've had my Bullitt now for a few weeks and am absolutely loving it. Apart from business miles I have not used the car once. The little chap sits on the front to school howling with laughter, I've had packs of roofing tiles on there and ridden it down a flight of stairs. My 12 year old (on an Islabike) has to remind me to slow down so she can keep up (I've not got a speedo on there, but it definitely feels fast).
Only downsides for me are 1) A few rattles over broken road surfaces, getting them dialled out slowly. 2) Forgetting that the Brooks Swallow can be a nut twanger if wearing baggies.
Where I live is not the hilliest of places (Gloucester) but copes with them happily, you really don't have a huge sensation of weight at all.
Hope this helps, any specifics don't hesitate to ask.
