It is like driving a stick, starting is a little more difficult, but once you are moving it is not a problem. Balancing is different.  I go much faster on my Seven than on the recumbent, but if I am riding with him, that doesn't make a difference.  My Seven weighs about 1/2 the recumbent. When riding with him, lots of people commented about his cool bike. I have both..   My bike is a custom made road bike, that I love.

Joe is simply playing his role as a bike shop veteran.  No need to get "tired of his snarkiness" - he isn't real.  However, he is demonstrating one of the problems with some bike shops.

So what does that make those of us who still use the straight English longbow?
