I bought one of the first motobecane (BD) offerings this past October. It's a hoot. Riding it reminds me of the feeling of my first mountain bike 20 years ago. I feel like I can roll over anything.

Oh, and far and away the best two-wheeled conversation starter I've ridden. Even more than my gitane penny farthing.

Thank goodness for extra toe straps



Have only had it out in the snow once so far. Wasn't quite as superlative as I'd have expected, but I think that's as much about the tires and air pressure as anything else. It's a work in progress,
