Yesterday while out on the bike trails, I rode about 3 miles up hill into the wind. THEN I rolled back down hill only having to pedal once and a while. Sitting back on my recumbent, not all hunched up like a dog made the ride fantastic. Being able to sit back and look around is great. Unlike the DF riders you see, I was not staring at the ground or my front wheel. The DF racer wanna bes can turn up their nose, claim Im not riding a real bike, but I was totally relaxed and enjoying the expierence.
