I live in suttons bay michigan, and the only other bike around my town is the one we built for my buddy. We have had people come up to us and ask questions, and say i gotta make me one, so im hoping more to come. Traverse city is about 40 miles from here, and when i have been there i saw a couple diff ones, but was in a car. That is what made me get one, cause i saw a guy pedal across the road then all of a sudden i heard a zoom, and he was gone, i came right home and started to google it. Next summer when the weather gets nicer, and the bikes are good to go i paln to ride up there alot, and hopefully run into one of the gutys with a motor. It would be nice to talk to someone in the area about theese things

Its funny that it is exactly the same in every part of the country. When people see you on your MB they are enamored with it! They ask where you got it, and say they have to get one! Then when you tell them you can build them one, it's a whole different story. They have every excuse in the world why they can't buy one from you. What's up with that!
The only ones around here are the ones I have built, and I live in a metropolitan area of over 500,000 people.

I live in Cambridge Ontario Canada and my city has about 50 or so, people riding around. I see them everywhere, there is one group, that goes out almost everyday about 8-10 of them flying around the streets. I guess i'm lucky up here.
Thanks

I know of 10 in my small town , where I live at. I seldom
see them on their mb bikes. They say that they go to their
garage to tinker around with their bikes to get away for a
while from their o'lady but their o'lady has the final say to
when they can go out and ride.

I saw four this morning, one going west on grant and one going east, both at grant & I-10 at the same time. And saw another one just a few minutes later going south on silverbell. Then saw another one going east on St. Mary's. If you add me and my buddy thats six all in the same area.

Ride on Tucsonans .wee.

I've been thru 48 states and even Az and Ca a lot and never seen even 1 of these things. It's hard not to notice a bicycle goin this fast. I got to believe they are becoming more popular now since I haven't been truckin in a year or so now. It's kinda like windmills they are all over the place now.

I delivered to every Pep Boys in Tuscon as well as most of the rest of them in Az. I woulda expected to see MB in Nogales or near Ft. Hachuka. I always spent the night there as well before doing deliveries the next day. Glad to hear they are popular there now.

I saw one in Nogales a while back about a year ago and the guy was hulling a trailer with a goat in it. At first I was not sure if what I thought I saw was really what I saw. I had to do a double look just to be sure.
