IMO,It is a rich mans toy, designed for the cycle paths of holland i think, because i beleive a lot of dutch still cycle.

The Netherlands is almost entirely flat which is conducive to cycling.........whilst the urban areas do have lots of cars, the entire infrastructure of road provision is geared up for the cyclist and the rural areas are very much the domain of the bicycle.

It is so very different in GB that the whike is a non-starter except for places like Center Parcs...
