Hi,
The Pashley Guv'nor as well as the Phantom are available in the US now. Pashley has a US Distributor, Belmont Distribution, which is my company.
I just received a couple of Guv'nor's to check out before the big shipment arrives in two weeks, they are fun to ride and look sharp.
I have some more pictures and specs on them and the Phantom as well at https://www.britishbicycle.com/pashley

This is a great idea. I have been stressing about getting out on my race bikes - not enough time to train. I think I will take my cruiser which I normally ride to work, out for a random ride.

Buy a cruiser with at least 7 speeds and a deraileur, then buy a freewheel or cassette with an 11t gear in it. Should be plenty fast, faster if you change the chainwheel to a 48t (most will come with a 44t chainwheel...can't go bigger than 48t though, not enough clearance).

While I like the Cruz model, it has a longer wheelbase than other models. For everyday commuting I would consider a model with a shorter wheelbase for quicker handling and precise sharp turns. The Street and the Citi (or City) come to mind.

It's easy being green.

to fordfaster, the tricross will be a nice 'cruiser' 
here's a couple of cruisers that are very fast- Downhill!
even more so with a load of groceries!
My current one is the one on the right- I'm going to put some deore/mavic mtn hoops on there, some 60PSI Town and Countries, at least a LX 9 and possibly a triple front.
