Well, there's a good few StreetMachine GTs (including mine) being ridden around London, and it doesn't get more urban than that!

Seriously, I have always found that it is easier to ride my 'bent around London, than my upwrong. On a regular bike, you're just another menace cyclist, on a 'bent you're something different, on a faired 'bent you're almost a 'proper vehicle'. Given the choice, I always take the 'bent when I go into London.
