A recumbent ride in downtown Madrid: breaking myths (full version)

Recumbents are widely considered as weird bikes, regarded as dangerously low and meant for little more than leisure riding. Well, that's plain wrong, as prove here.

Thanks Matt! How are you doing?

Looks very fast, and keeping up with the traffic a lot of the time. It´s also safer moving inbetween traffic on 2 wheels than on trikes, as unless you are on a low-rider, your head height is similar to those inside cars.

It's also true that the highest speeds you see on the video match areas with slight downhill. Just a little bit of help makes recumbents very fast! Thanks for commenting! 👍
