you can't rest your head on a headrest while riding, it will bounce your brains around. It's a perfectly natural position (tha'ts the whole point). You hold your head up yourself when upright. ;)
I was thinking about why I bought my recumbent (Rans Enduro) while watching the video and the main reason is because its so much fun to ride, especially downhill!
It also looks like your weight is directly over the back wheel, which must rattle your head pretty hard when going over bumps. Or maybe you don't have bumps where you live? And with all the weight aft, what about front wheel slip?
That must really hurt your neck after a while. It would surely hurt mine. Eventually, I'd just give up straining and look straight toward the sky. But then I'd probably crash. Can't you get a seat to better fit that style of bike?
Nice video, short but we can feel the thrill of riding such a nice machine, and nice music. I am bent rider but SWB low racer, just wonder how easy it is to take a sharp turn on fast downhill with such a long wheel base?
Looking good Carl! That thing is HUGE! Miss riding a RANS to work every day!

I love recumbents, but that one goes a bit overboard, IMO.
And the music - you yanks really like that doodle-doodle sound. I heard it on other recumbent videos too :-)

You seem to be reaching far for those handle bars. That might begin to feel unhealthy for your shoulders over time. Do those bars adjust?

M. Ward, Duet for Guitars #3 from the Transfiguration of Vincent album. Good music, but what about the bike?

I think I'm more of an "SWB" kinda guy. Thanks for responding though.
