I get asked is my bike easy to ride, what it is like to ride.  This 5:28 of video gives a good feeling of what it feels like to ride a recumbent.  Keep in mind speed on a recumbent is hard to judge and except for one hill(got down to 21) I was doing over 30mph the whole time(with one close approach to 40).  This is part of the commute to work I do daily, 17 miles total(8.4 one way).  

The hawk comes to see me in the morning and night when I ride by.  I think he is lonely or threatening to kill me, one of the two.
