I cannot see how weight is a real issue. My sister and here boyfriend have old heavy town bikes. They feel fast and comfortable to me. As much so as a cheap hybrid and miles better than the type of MTB you see so many people riding on the road.
Bikes, even heavy/slow bikes, are still liberating in comparison to walking or public transport. The other day my chain broke, but I still rode the 4 miles home push-scooting. Was better than walking.
