@psud I really should try a recumbent bike one day, I enjoyed my trike but the bikes always scared me. But I should give one a try.

It took a few hours on a grassy hill to learn to balance it

My fast bike is an M5 carbon high racer

It got too easy to ride, also I don't trust carbon composites to last a long time in Australian sunlight, so I also now have a steel (CrMo) shockproof 559
