It also sucks for those of us with bad ankles and knees. Almost as bad as sand. All I see on those pictures is pain.

They are also extremely slippery when wet or frozen. So add a lawsuit to the pain as well.

Yeah, looking at one of those is making my ankle hurt.

I’m wondering if they feel as horrible on a fully suspended bike. I’m also commenting something just because.

They maybe feel less horrible, but the vibration screws up your bike.

There are workarounds to get cobblestone streets to work. In Groningen, Netherlands, I’ve seen cozy cobblestone streets which had a 50cm (1½ feet?) wide and very even brick strip in the center for bicycles. Looks and works great and it is an easy retrofit for historic cobblestone.
