Goodness! That is so laid back! How does it feel going up a 10% grade?

Nice report and great photos!

Well done!

Man! I pine for an S40 frameset! That green machine is a killer!

You probably need a recumbent rider friend similar to your age and power. Then a recumbent that is not too low like an S30 or S40. It feels great to be synchronised and glide like a single unit as you overtake other riders!

One of my cycling club buddies drafts my recumbent so well. Recently a profesional photographer took a picture and it looked like we are on a tandem :)

This version does not have front suspension. No need for the pump.

This is a rare model of an S30. The last version before S40. It was unique in that it had a rigid front and a suspended rare end. Then topping it all up with a moderate seat reclne angle of 33deg . It's a rare gem! If I was living in the USA and with the $$$$ I would buy it without hesitation.

I'd say : My performance on a regular bike is just regular, but my performance on a cuzbike is just cruzin' !

Wow!

Scary to watch ! Wow! I could hardly reach the end of the video.

Old reflexes die hard! That's why learning an MBB recumbent should be exclusive for a period of time for those who also own a rear-wheel drive recumbent. And by the way, that's a great color match for the wheels and bike

Yeah, it makes a big difference to be attached to the pedals! Even old style toe clips makes a difference!

Yes, I meant "sit up". Sorry for the typo .

Congratulations and Great work! Tips: Don't go too fast too soon. Old reflexes can surprise you, so just take your time to practice the slow stuff. Seat up over speed bumps, rough patches, sandy patches and sharp corners When resuming to pedal after freewheeling gradually ease into the...

Maybe there needed to have been a few days of acclimatization period for Larry?

Whether it's the French head angle of 55-60 deg. or the cruzbike and Itallian (Marco's) 68-72 deg head angle , the rider can learn to ride hands free even up a slope. The human brain and body is amazing, it can adapt to almost anything, given sufficient time. Look at Marco riding up a climb...
