Good point but either way it looks like the Softride concept only cushions the arse. It's still a hardtail as far as yer feet goes.

'cept on a seatpost, the post comes outta' yer a$$. On the Softride, the beam extends from the front.

One is better for the ego of the insulant commuter.

This all said, let's talk about people that use the False Creek seawall as a commuter route at 40kph…. find a road and ride on it.

but if being called an idiot sets you off into road-rage -

It takes a whole lot less then being called an idiot to set most commuters off. :lol:

c'mon! Think of the last time you were driving in traffic and spewed forth a stream of profanity laced invective, inside your car, anonymous like, at some clown who cut you off. You know you did. Everbody has.
Now imagine you're time sensitive riding your road bike, the adrenaline is pumping, cars are trying to kill you, dewbs are wandering all over the road and suddenly some foo-foo cyclist riding a cruiser bike of all things calls you an idiot?

This is why we need open carry in Canada 'cause armed commuters are polite commuters.

Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.

The raw, primitive, unrefined trails that see little to no maintenance are the kinds of trails that really build skill. What kind of skills do you learn riding a trail that was made by a machine, groomed to perfection and void of any rocks, roots or other obstacles that could send you careening over the handlebars?

I have a hunch the OP may have mixed up Kiwi accent with South African accent. Hmmmm.
:mullet:

Wrong. Always.
