Over on bentrideronline one can find secondhand a-friend-of-a-friend claims of 'a guy who jumped right on and rode', but first hand accounts seem to involve 100+ miles on a big parking lot and ~2000 quiet country road miles before the rider felt comfortable and confident. YMMV
A claim of "fastest bike or your money back' only interests recumbent riders?
yeah its not hard to ride it takes 5 minutes to get used to....
