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!Jon

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. ;-)Jon

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 :-)regards
