| Re: landrider clutccargo69 wrote: > Does anyone out there have any info on "landrider" bikes..pro or cons 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. Dan. -- |

I can't believe how much they charge for those things, based on the gimmick that it makes things 'easier.' Yeah, easier for the shmucks getting rich on ripping off the gullible! For that money,get a mountain bike! I can't remember if it was here,or somewhere else, but someone posted about finding one IN THE TRASH! And was barely able to scavenge any decent components. Maybe some nuts or bolts. |
