IF so, have you ever had any experience with this one? And if so what'd you think. And are there places where you can read reviews on this bike and see other people's comments on it? I've asked on a local recumbent bike group last night but it's a moderated group and I don't know if they'll post my question. http://www.islandsportshop.com/Worksman_Personal_Activity_Vehicle.htm

How do you go up hill on those things? If you are riding on the flats, it's one thing, but for all over riding I can't see it as being useful. Plus your line of vision is low.

Katy.... They are actually very efficient going up hill because they offer back support. Something to brace the power obtained from pushing through the legs against. A normal cyclist does not have this facility, though what is lost is made up for with gravity.

I've never rode one, but I hear the ability to go up the hill actually depends on each different bike, since some are strong off roaders, and some are not. Yeah, you are kind of low you wouldn't really want to be on busy streets or say going downtown on it, but it'd be great for paved pedestrian only trails. quote: ORIGINAL: KatyLied How do you go up hill on those things?
