Sorry slight thread hijack here -- this Idea has been running thru my head for months now (not that I could afford a recumbent at this point) How much faster (roughly) would my 12.5 mile commute be on this:
My problem is similar to Jerry in SO IL -- most days that I can't ride are due to commitments with my 4 kids -- so any thing I could do to cut down (substansially) on my commute time would be great. I mean If I could normally maintain 20 mph would I be able now to maintain 25?
