I rode a bunch of Xtracycle's at Clevercycles the other day. (Hauled a 200lb+ friend of mine around on one.)
I hated all of them. Clever is really into comfort cycling though. Very upright. Swept back handle bars. Bottom bracket far forward of the saddle.
Ugh. I hated them all. They all felt SUPER foreign. Also, they're all single ring 6-8 speeds. God forbid I have something heavy and go up a hill!
These were all like...Electra Townie, or Electra Amsterdams plus a Freeradical conversion. Blech. I'd like to try a couple MTB/Hybrid + Free Rad conversions.
I loved riding a Big Dummy, but I don't like the $2,300 price tag for one.
Sometime next week I'm going to track down an 18 speed Yuba Mundo and take that for a spin.
