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.
I know you weren't really on the handlebars (didn't know it was you at the time though, LOL!), I was being a bit facetious.

It just looks so uncomfortable! How do you get any leverage to pedal like that? It's not the somebody-else-steering that would bother me, but the being-in-front-with-nothing-to-hang-onto!

I know you're used to it and probably very comfortable, but I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to try it myself.
