Paul,
“nobody drives in Portland, too much traffic.” That’s a curious situation.

But anyhow, half a million Amsterdammers hop on their bikes every day in a city smaller in surface area than Portland and nobody’s complaining about the bicycle traffic jams. Portland has a long way to go before it’ll have too many cyclists.

Eeeh, I doubt that; nobody drives in Portland, too much traffic. But there are a lot of bicyclists. Though on many of the major routes in the local cycleway network, traffic is getting bad enough that it wouldn’t surprise me if people give up riding because of too much bike traffic causing delays…

Paul, As soon as somebody organizes a “group ride” or festival around them.

Looks cool. But one should spend the Intergalactic Patro at least a Electro Motor, to atract the cyber police officers. And to browse through the milkyway, its more than useful, especially when the computer controlled dual gyroscopic balancers are out of service during solar-cyber-storms

[...] sollte ich mir auch ein Fahrrad besorgen, welches meinen Marktwert hebt. Vielleicht das Intergalactic Patrol Bike? Muss mich hier noch etwas umschauen. Oder doch ein Lastenrad in Amsterdam kaufen, weil [...]

These bikes were made in the 70′s for schoolkids. I remember seeing one or two in the States as a kid – perhaps owned by a Japanese kid in the neighborhood. I figure if that silliness gets kids psyched to ride a bike then its a small concession. Really its just a couple toy robots worth of plastic.

the sad thing is that underneath all the layers of crap is what looks like a halfway decent bicycle, classically designed and sensibly equipped if cheaply built. very hard to find such bicycles new for less than large coin anymore, at least here in the US.
