Now those things would really give the tuesday nite group riders something to bitch about. Awesome.

Used to have one at a shop I worked at. Took it out for short rides a few times... I'll stick with a "safety" thank you.

I wish they'd show someone getting up and going on one.

Does each one of these have to be custom built with a different wheel size to change the saddle height? It didn't look like there was much room for adjustment...

I guess this is what you do when safety bicycles are too safe and recumbents aren't unique enough?

I haven't seen video of anyone riding them this aggressively before.. fairly bad ass riding. Looked like one of them was going to stuff it into the barriers at one point in the video.

Yeah. I don't see riding one of those up the Gavia Pass.

+1 crit bike. No worries about hitting your pedal in a corner!

I've never ridden one, but those guys make them look extremely stable.
