I love cruisers, and have been three times. But all three times, was bored bloody stiff. Yes there are some great bikes to look at, but other than that, it's like an outdoor January bike show at the International centre. The bikes are just parked, there's some el cheapo venders selling el cheapo gear, some pubs, and that's it.
The one thing I've liked doing each time after walking around is to just sit on the lawn by the Tims with a coffee and watch non-stop bikes ride past me. But the last two times I've left after three hours or so and never felt I missed anything. Don't think I'll make the trek this year; just ain't worth the trip in my opinion. Perhaps if there were more events, challenges, etc., but there aren't.
