Why are lo pros good to ride round london?

Is this thread the hipster equivalent to a C+thread on RLJing?

Low-pros in the city are obviously form over function (in most cases, Scott has actually found function out of his, which is wicked). Half the shit people ride is, though. The people who believe that bikes should only serve their function with no thought to aesthetics (or in my case, just for the ability to laugh at yourself) must be a fucking bore.

I can't speak for all low-pros, but mine is in no way a danger to myself (or others). No more than me on any other bike is, anyway. I don't really understand the insinuation that they would be. Poor riders are poor riders on any bike.

What size is yours Horatio?
