If you have under seat steering, you must have a recumbent, right? If so, you have a lot more courage than I do just to ride one of them. It looks like it would take a lot of getting used to it just to ride, period. Much less ride fast. I think most of these posts are going to be about folks riding down big hills. Luckily my ride was pretty close to straight down one hill and straight back up the next.poweredbysweat said:I feel like such a wimp. I got going about 40 MPH going down a hill the other day, and I started braking. I did have to make a left turn at the bottom, but that wasn't the issue. I started braking long before that. This bike is a new ride for me, with under-seat steering, and I'm still feeling my way. But wow, does it ever pick up speed!
Yes I do. I had another Bent before this one, but it was much more conventional. I had three things to get accustomed to, with this one:kdelong said:If you have under seat steering, you must have a recumbent, right?

YIKES! But probably a good idea. The only trouble is that Americans in cars like the "freedom" to speed at any velocity they choose.Xsmoker said:Decending fast is great fun but always in my mind is; man, if something happens this is going to hurt. My fastest is 45 MPH. One of my favorite decents ends on a bridge (with no shoulder) over the Genesee river in Portageville NY. The speed limit is 35 at the bridge so I always take the middle of the lane to prevent crazies from trying to pass.
174mph......oh, without a motor, 56. I want to crack 65 on my new one.poweredbysweat said:YIKES! But probably a good idea. The only trouble is that Americans in cars like the "freedom" to speed at any velocity they choose.
