I'm wondering what these are like to ride from a practical and ergonomic point of view. How easy is it to look behind you from that riding position? I like to get a really good look behind before I commit to overtaking parked cars or turning across the carriageway (turning right here in uK). I get a pretty good view all around on an upright because my spine joints from the hip upwards are sharing the rotation, whereas from a sitting position with back support, it would only be the spine from the shoulders and neck. This might not be an issue for a nineteen year old, but I am forty years further down the road than that. An inability to look behind efficiently would likely lead to an untimely death on overtaking and turns across the traffic stream.
