Something I note about riding a recumbent.
In a hailstorm, your shins cop a battering! Zebee |

Since it was downhill and I like going fast, I had it on two wheels around both corners. Scared the cr** out of me. I've since learned my lesson, and now do it intentionally. :-) -- Linux Registered User # 302622 <http://counter.li.org> |

On a seriously off camber bit of uphill I felt a bit uneasy. Do you know what the roll angle would be? The CoG is pretty low, but add a bit of g force for cornering and a bit of off camber and there might be a spill. T. |
