  • Is there any problem with holding your head up for long periods of time?

  • No. You don't 'hold' your legs up at all. With only a little pressure, they stay on the pedals (clipless pedals) and if you have SPD pedals, then your feet are always clipped in.

  • Sorry, I missread that question. But you don't 'hold' your head up either. The curve of the seat is such that your head sits very naturally upright. Compared with a standard bike, where you have to hold your head up (rather than just looking down all the time), your head is in a very comfortable position.

  • I would love to download og get a hold on this clip in the best possible quality, I saw this clip a while ago and it quickly became a clip I played a on my job if i need to get a kickstart on the day... so cool!

  • Let me see what I can do. I will try to upload to Vimeo for better quality.

  • So did you ever get around to upload this to Vimeo for better quality?.... I really hope you will....

  • That would be awesome, please notify me when you get around to it :)

  • Nice video and ride.

  • The left hand side is the original and correct side.

    It was chosen for a number of reasons, but mostly because humans are predominantly right handed.

    Driving on the right hand side is the wrong side, but more common for historical reasons.

    Nowadays, the original reasons are largely irrelevant.

    For safety it would be a good idea for everyone to drive on the same side.

  • Bikes rule. Recumbents especially.
