Quoted message said:A couple of times lately I have seen something that looks very much
like a miniature Harley-Davidson motorcycle tooling around the streets.
Get a little closer, and they prove to be bicycles, with raised
handlebars, chopped forks, and massive tires that look like you'd have to
buy replacements from a motorcycle shop.
It looks to me like these things must be horribly slow and inefficient,
but I think it would be interesting to hear from anyone who has actually
ridden one. Do they have any advantages, other than being "kewl?"
They're just "kewl". Not meant to go fast or handle very well. I rode one as
a kid---and I was very happy when it finally died so I could have a BMX.
They're not good as a kid's only bike, but I would imagine riding with
buddies who have the same bike would be fun.
