Looks like Honda in in big trouble...The clever folks at Land Rider have come out with the latest in bicycle transmissonary technology...Nexus? Ha...Shimano is doomed as well... :blah:

Plus, it has 'dual suspension' (not quite sure how tho, unless they count each leg of the fork as seperate 'suspension')...

LOL. I like this comment:
"The brushed natural aluminum finish frame comes with a protective clear coat to resist scratches and rust"
Aluminium doesn't really 'rust', just corrodes.
Maybe he'll ride that in the 4x.

See what the experts have to say about the LandRider bike!
* "In the 32 years of assembly and instructing assembly, the LandRider is one of the easiest bicycles I have ever assembled. Great job!" - Vance Blume, Blume International, Bicycle Service School
* “LandRider is easy and fun to ride -- thousands of happy customers have told us so. If you ride for the exercise and health benefits, try a LandRider -- it’s the bicycle built for you.” - Brad Hughes, LandRider Development Team
* "This bike will become the standard of the world in terms of comfort, ease of use, safety and all the other issues that keep people from cycling. This is the answer." - Bill Fields, Publisher, Bicycle Guide Magazine ever heard of bicycle guide magazine?
* "Women should love the LandRider because it is a lot more comfortable than most bikes. You sit more upright, and the saddle itself is a little wider so you don't put so much pressure on your pelvis." - Liz Williamson, Retail Industry Consultant
* "It's the perfect workout. The cardiovascular benefits of just being on a bike and exercising are fantastic. With LandRider you can go anywhere, rain or shine and you don't have to wait for the gym to open at a certain time. Just hop on and go!" - Carrie Sisk, Professional Trainer and Cyclist
eh? :think:
How come it hasn't become the standard if it's the answer?;):confused:

Also notice the small print in the corner? Is she the 'indoor trainer'? If so, I'll be getting out my plastic in a hurry...Hell, they can keep the bike for that matter...

They said that fork can withstand everything...even though it has an inch of travel. I think its great that in the infocommercial, the have that bike pinned against a 1 speed beach cruiser and a old ass road bike. And they are on the biggest hill in Cali. Give me any new bike and I can shift gears with my eyes closed and still beat you up the hill. Haha, but people at soooo gulible and will buy that.

Sorry, but I just can't enough of this tripe:
The unique uni-Frame design fits men and women riders.
WTF? Both men and women can use it!!! Wow, now that is a unique concept..That's about like saying this is a uni-paper towel despenser that both men and women can use...
LandRider Customers can exchange bikes for size or gender within 60 days of the date of delivery.
"Umm, Hi, is this the Land Rider customer service hotline? Great, so I understand that I can exchange the bike for size or gender - right? Ok, great - in that case I would like to keep my gender and add size...Just 2 or 3 more inches is all I need and I'll send the bike back ASAP...Thanks..."
And I love this thoughtful and informative layout:

'Pedals'...'Fender'...'Tires / Rims'...I mean come the f on...
What they really need is a picture of a hole in the ground and someone's ass, then ask the potential clients to differentiate between the two...

They're pointing at the cranks under "Pedals" too...amazing.
I'm guessing "dual suspension" means seatpost shock as well. Even more amazing.

Its $679.75.
I know! That's why it's such a screaming deal! I presume yours is already on order..
Btw, does anyone know if it comes with a seatpost? It doesn't say anything about a seatpost on the above pic, so I wasn't sure...

Actually, it has a suspension post, fork, and saddle. So is it tri-suspension :confused:

Ever heard of adjustable bars? I haven't either.
