Because we can get in touch with our "inner little girl" again when we ride them. We can feel like kids in summertime, free, with no grownup obligations, and no one expects us to be fast or athletic or competitive when we're on a mixte. Happy childhood memories are very powerful things.

But then again, that's why I ride a bike all the time anyway- and I don't even HAVE a mixte!
