Been sitting in the RANS comfy chair for 21 months/4300 miles. Upright riding is limited to tandem time with my wife/stoker and occasional short rides on my singlespeed Cannondale. When I get to a stop light, I put both feet on the ground and relax. Forward vision is astounding - sit in the seat and look ahead - not down at the road in front of the bike.
