Almost have a "poser" there! Those similar bikes with a
s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d frame might even make recumbents seem fast on hills!

this is not like those wacky things I see in some stores. they look like they
weight a ton. I think it is a good idea to get the best out of both worlds.

I haven't ridden one but I don't see the justification. The seating/hip
angle is semi-recumbent, but the neck and hand-numbness problems look
like they'd still be there. I think if I needed something for short
urban rides I'd just get a regular $400 MTB and put slicks on it, and
spend way less than $2000.....

the seat would feel far better then a wedgie does. after three months on my bent
I could not handle my racing bike anymore. from the reviews of the lower models
they have been pretty good.

there is some pressure on your hands on this model but not a lot. one lady has
one and really likes it. she can climb better with it then her road bike.
I don't think a little pressure on your hands is that big of a deal. it was not
really a issue with me on my racing bike and I have bad hands.
but this looks far more comfy then a road bike and is far cheaper then light
recumbent.
