I've a workcycles KR8. The ride is best described as stately but very comfortable; OTOH when empty it can shift when given beans (as much as a 30-kilo-or-so bike will ever do so!), and when you've kids on board you're not going to hoon along like a maniac anyhow. My two (preschool twins) love it; we've had it since they were 18 months or so, and it does sterling duty for the nursery run and the weekly shop. Once they start school this autumn I suppose I will look at selling it, but I'll be very sad to see it go.
