Rode one a bit last summer. Weird thing. Had about a 12 ft turning
radius! Yes, the smallest circle you could do on the thing was about 25
ft. Climbing a steep trail would be impossible. It would flip over
backwards.

Tbh, they're not really built for that, just wondered what kinda speed you
can get from 'em.

Never rode one but know 2 that do. Speed is
there but only otheopen road. So you can be a Recum road. Stay out of
my way.

I saw a recumbant rider out in Southampton cruising along at least
15mph, maybe faster. He didn't look like he was going all out. I was
traveling about 25mph. Damn, Hamptons police are like the SS in the
villages...

Peace.
