It wouldn't be too hard to pedal but it would be too light to

pedal. I say this because of an formula I use:

28/13 x 20 = 43  
 
Generally you want a number around 55 as where MOST single speed bikes  
range around. So the higher the number, the harder. The lower, the easier.  
 
So if you were to change you would want either a 36t sprocket in the front  
& keep the 13t, or you can keep the 28t & change the 13t into a 10t. I  
would change the rear. These are common gear ratios.  
 
36/13 x 20 = 55.4  
28/10 x 20 = 56.0  
 
So both ratios are fairly close to 55 so I would recommend getting the  
rear sprocket (10t) since a 36 t in the front would be huge.

34 0r the 43 is the distance one turn of the pedals will take you
