So the Raleigh Chopper has returned. Lots of nostalgic men will no doubt be queueing up to buy one of the 2004 that have been made, to relieve their youth with some terrifying handling and ludicrous handlebars. But if you’re going to buy a sit-up-and-beg bike… why not go the whole hog (literally), and buy something like this: The Kona BikeHotRod. Now that’s a real chopper. And it’s got a disc brake!

(OK, so it’s bike geekery, but I just wanted to point out that there are alternatives to the Chopper…)
