man, every post! the staunchness of your opinion is to be admired for sure, but it isn't that hard to understand why people like these bikes...
There are other qualities than speed that make these bikes function nicely on the road...sometimes, its not about getting somewhere as efficiently or as comfortably as possible, sometimes you want to ride a bike that looks a bit silly/cool/unique delete as appropriate...I love riding my lo pro, the best word I can think to describe the feel is 'direct' - none of the power I transmit into the bike gets sucked up by anything other than moving forwards fast, love that feel....it is so nimble too...and I like the look of it, not seen many like it before....
Basic physics fail.
It's impossible for one hundred percent of your power to transfer directly to forward motion.
