Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looks like Pcad has another option if the bent doesnt work out for him.

Yes. Perhaps hanging in the harness would prove therapeutic for Pcad's prolapsed vagina.

Need to see the video for the MTB version of this. Big knobby tires, and a flexure joint mid-arc, so that the rider "floats" on a cushion while the wheels crash over obstacles. That would be great on single track...
