I can't work out whether that's a condemnation of landrider, or a general
comment on the pessimism of this group...

It's a condemnation of Landrider, which is an overpriced, low-quality,
ill-conceived solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Any decent bike shop can sell you a better bike for less money.

If you go to thier
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and read
the FAQ it will only take a few seconds to realize how stupid their
arguments are.

For example;
* They claim that shifting gears is confusing on regular bikes.

* They claim the Land Rider is faster than a 21 speed bike because you
arn't wasting time shifting.

* They claim to be safer since your not focused on shifting and can
focus better on the road.

Come on, those are way exagerated or all out false claims. Shifting
isn't really a big issue, and this is more of a gimick than anything
else. Stick with a regular bike, they are much more reliable and
better quality.
