It's like driving the coolest little great-handling sports car ever. My bent might be a little slower going up those mountains than a DF, but instead of bending over the handle bars and starting at the road while climbing, my head is up and I'm enjoying a good look at all the beautiful scenery.
Yup. I was descending a hill on my 'bent when a DF rider tucked into his aero position. I laughed and said "this is my aero position".
