I was doing about 19 mph on my commute and passed a recumbent. The guy said hi as I passed, then he overtook me again. He
flew by me faster than any roadie I've ever encountered. I tried to speed up and keep his pace, but there was no way. After a couple of miles, he just got farther and farther ahead. My hat's off to you recumbent guy. You are the fastest rider I've seen.
