I am still on the learning curve, given my main ride prior to this was a fixed-gear bike (no shifting), and on the recumbent I am shifting all the time. Takes some getting used to... My goal at this point is that this bike will become my commuter, and if I don't get clearance from my doc to go back to upright bikes, i will get a high racer in the spring for weekend rides.

I think the comments about different size wheels are tright-on. I thought it was just me bieng a little wobbly, but there is something to be said for the different sized wheels. Never-the-less, i am getting used to it, and it is actually enjoyable. I tend to forget to shift until half-way up a hill, so there is some re-learning to be done, but it is a fun ride.

Enjoy!
