    For some reason, I am reminded of Simon Brooke's distorted digital
    pictures...

    The phrase 'none of the above' springs forcibly to mind.

    I like #21. The spikes would be a good reason not to end up on the top
    tube.

    I also like #24. I could work on my laptop while I ride. It's a bit
    bling for my liking.

    Am I meant to say "I like none of these" or am I being too honest?

    Nah - chain needs adjusting.

    Of all of them, I thought that one was the nicest (Excess chain
    notwithstanding!). There's something strangely cartoon like about the
    smooth curves of the seat floating (At first glance) over the similar
    curves of the frame.

    Given that these monstrosities are owned by those who could (usually)
    easily afford to run a car / motorbike, I guess we should be thankful
    that they are wasting their money on 144 spoke wheels and chrome plating
    rather than coke can exhausts and loud sound systems!

    Considered simply as sculpture - even as ridable sculpture - some of them
    are quite elegant. I might enjoy looking at them in a gallery, or even
    in a parade. But ride one or give one houseroom? Thanks, but, errm, no
    thanks.

    Ah, but the likes of you and I have different criteria for bikes. The
    owners of these "cruisers" intend to do exactly that. The aim is to
    travel slowly, drawing attention to how shiny and pretty their bikes
    are. I would prefer to be travelling fast enough that they don't get a
    chance to look. ;-)

    Hehe. Harley-Davidson wannabes? I thought the whole point of
    those was the deep roar and the puddle of oil ...

    Ooh-err... pimp my bike! I fancy none of those I'm afraid!

    Cheers, helen s

  12. Personally,

    I like them, wouldn't really want to ride one far, but anything that
    contributes to bike culture is welcome, particularly in the Land Of The
    Car.

    An ICE XXL with flame orange paint and added chrome would not look out
    of place :-)
