It was fun, but it was a little tricky to get started from a stand-still. Anyway, something you'd be a little more interested in hearing about: (quite second hand:) They aren't supposed to climb as well as 'standard' bikes - partly psychological, supposedly, since you are always looking up at the hill! Anyone have any real hill-climbing experience with one?
