This is Portland, so there isn't anywhere too flat, but no huge (read long) climbs.
It's a little underpowered for flats but just right for the hills I will tackle. For my ride to work in dress clothes, it's just right. Not bad for short trips around town when I'm not in a hurry.

its not the end of the world, but a new person shouldn’t look at this and think that it’s correct.

Riser stems are also good for frames that are too small. Between that and the saddle height, this bike screams too small to me. I’m not talking way too small but 2cm too small.
