    So, you've got your iBike and you go out on iRides so that you can tell
    your iFriends about your iStunting. You read iRide magazine and use
    iMoniz polishes to keep your iBike gleaming. What more could you
    possibly need?

    An iRider! You, (yes! you!) need an iRider to ride your iBike for you!
    But what's that - you don't have an iBike? Fear not, for the iRider
    comes with his own high-powered sports bike! Be the envy of your
    iMates-down-the-pub as you tell them tales of derring-do *as they
    happen!* with your iBike safely tucked away.

    So, if you can't wait to get your hands on an iRider, check them out
    here:

    Now that the sillyness is over, I can tell you that I was given two of
    these for my birthday and through some interesting logistics I've only
    got them last week. They're a bit hard to control - if you go too fast
    they don't turn, if you go too slow or stop they fall over. Just like
    real bikes then. I can't work out if countersteering helps or not, and
    I haven't managed to wheelie one yet. Time will tell...

    I've got one, and mine handle just like you describe, once I did a
    spot of 'suspension tuning' (twisting it so it would track straight).

    Unfortunately, the bike's battery has almost died, it barely holds
    charge. I guess that's Ducatis for you.

    I know I've got two, but...

    AFAICT, the purchaser got them from Next, but I have no idea what they
    cost. I just got the first pic that I found - mine are in black and
    red, in true birthday-bike-related present style.

    Yes, yes, yes, very nice...

    And you failed to bring them to PixieFest. You ****.

    They've got a long, quiet road, with a lovely turning point at the
    bottom of it.

    I hate you.

    You're forgetting - not everyone has vast amounts of luggage carrying
    bling on their bikes.

    I bet you cluttered yours up with tat like a tent, a sleeping bag, and
    spare skiddies, didn't you? Priorities man, priorities!
