Yes, I can easily see the size thing...especially with that 26" wheel sticking out in front of an already lwb frame. I felt like Casey Jones driving a locomotive. Didn't much care for low speed in traffic, but when I hit some rolling hills in the country that machine really earned the name "velocity". It just flattened those rollers and ate up the road. After adjusting physically to the position and becoming more pedaling efficient, it must be a real gas to ride flats and rolling hills. Steeper climbs would probably feel very slow and awkward, but then on the downhill side..........

I've ridden recumbents before, and never really felt comfortable sitting down low in traffic. In fact, I felt anxious when passed by trucks. Can't imagine riding a trike as some do.
