Damn, I'm 6'4 and i regularly find shops where I can test ride bikes. Go to big chains like Evans and Cyclesurgery if its something common you're after.
Its not so much the size to be honest, its finding the actual bikes, then once you find the bike it needs to be the right size!
Wouldnt mind trying the Giant Bowery FMX if anyone spots one in London by the way!

@ OP, a lot of bike shops will let you test ride bikes.
Cheers Zed, Yeh I know most shops will let you test ride but finding a shop with a bike I want to try in the right size is another matter.
Speaking of which if anyone knows any London shops with a Felt Brougham available for demo please let me know.

I did some searching but didnt find anybody discussing freestyle bikes handling in normal riding duties.
I've been to quite a few shops but not found anywhere that has anything freestyle that you can test ride, thats why I figured I would ask some peeps who actually ride them.
No, I didnt spot the freestyle forum, cheers!

Hi,
I'm looking to get myself a new ride for getting round London town but I want something thats gonna allow me to sit pretty upright and cruise around and maybe pop the odd hop off a curb and whatnot.
I currently ride a 24" cruiser with schwalbe slicks and a long-ass seat tube, its pretty fun but doesnt allow me to be totally comfortable while seated so i thought it might be time to upgrade to an adults bike : )
I test-rode a couple of standard singlespeeds: Fuji Track and something else I cant remember, both with drop downs etc. I found them to be too 'greyhound-like' for me, i guess I need something with a bit more beef, prob what Im looking for would be the ultimate pub bike, i just want something real easy, comfortable and fun to ride.
**Anyway, Ive seen a few of the fixed freestyle bikes on the net and like the look of them, just wondering how they handle in normal riding situations. **
Or if anyone else has any ideas of something I should try please shout!
Sam : )
