I do not see the point in referring to me as "them".
I also do not see the point in going through all of my posts in particular ... but if you want to spend your time doing so ... feel free
The term "cruiser bike" is not common in Belgium (and I presume this goes for the whole of Europe).
In fact I haven't seen an actual cruiser bike ever in my life.
This has probably to do with cruiser bikes being a typical american phenomenon, I guess.
Think of me whatever you desire and look down upon me if this makes you feel better ... be my guest
I know for myself that I design, build, adjust, repair and maintain my own bike ... if you call this "really doesn't know what they are talking about" than your definition of this statement is clearly different from mine.
This concludes my answer to your personal attack ... so back to the subject at hand:
I still stand by my personal opinion that the handlebar of those cruiser bikes seems extemely uncofortable for the rider's wrists and also seems very unhandy and difficult to control on anything but flat roads.
So my question is: what is the benefit of riding a cruiser bike?
