It looks so hard on the knees . . .
Are you talking about me? I wasn't sitting on handlebars.



The seat is quite comfy, and the two riders have independent gear shifting. Climbing is a bit harder than upright but that is true for any recumbent. The captain puts in more effort than the stoker (stoker is in front). It just takes a lot of trust being in front like that and not being able to steer.

Now this ride I did in the Netherlands was not quite as comfortable.
