I went back to my old bike and almost fell off because I pushed down on the pedal and it only rolled a couple feet (low gear). I was trying to put my foot in the basket too soon. Took me a few minutes to be able to ride a regular bike again and it now seemed strange. How can people stand all this butt pain, I thought. How do you get anywhere when you're not using your full body weight to push forward all the time? I did like the gears and sometimes it was nice to sit down, but it all seemed really weird after a few days on the Dreamslide.

But don't take this as some kind of total conversion to stand up bikeing or total endorsement of Dreamslide.
