It must be the seat. I've tried going suspensionless on my laid-back shell seat 'bent, and it wasn't comfortable at all. In fact, it was unbearable.
I need to try one of those!

LOL! I don't have a degree in engineering either :) I guess we're innovators! Ha!

one question: why don't you guys have beards?????

Yep, those 'zaks really are more than the sum of their parts. Bill is still around and while he's no longer officially selling his marvelous bikes, I'm sure if someone really, really wanted one, they might be able to coax him out of retirement :)

It's not rough without suspension?

Not at all :) I'm not sure why, but the Rocket gives a very smooth ride as does the Horizon.

@theaesthetics That is what I always wondered because you can not easily lift up for bumps. What about up hill? I mean gravity is not working for you.; can you keep up with a group of road bikes?
Who makes the best ones and where can i get one?

@spencehj Some of the fast recumbents climb just as well as road bikes (Carbent, Bachetta CA 2.0, Rans X-Stream) as they're just as light, while the heavier touring models will be slower up hills, but overall more comfortable for long cruises. Most commercially available 'bents are made equally as well. A good place to check out a selection is by googling The Hostel Shoppe online.

cool vid, i got the v1 rans rocket without the front shock absorber, i need a new rear wheel though (busted the spokes off when i pushed to hard) i added a smaller sprocket the the front gear set but i need a derailer that can travel through all 4 cogs.

I love those Rockets! I've been busting spokes on my road bike lately. I hope it's not catching ;)
