That looks smooth n awesome... May I ask u the question: How safe can u pass sidewalkd - I mean the little step from street over that beginning of the sidewalk? I am afraid that is the cause of easy accidents?
Thanks Gunter for the tips. I was reading somewhere that the camera can also become hot. Now that I know I will regulary check for condensation. or operate it without the watertight casing. I now have the Sony HDR-AS15 best camera I had till now. Like your video with the waterdrops in slowmotion. Might copy that someday ;-).
You quicky found this movie Gunter, I only just put it on line. ;-) Thanks for watching. I know the the lens fogged over a bit on the way back. something to keep an eye on for future movies. Must be colder air condensating in the watertight case?
Pāvels Smy M5 itself specifies this: www.m5-ligfietsen.nl/uploads/Itemizer/1587.1.gif Although such measurements are really hard to conduct and in real life greatly depend on the weather conditions, personally I do notice a big difference. But not every recumbent is the same! Smaller wheels increase rolling distance, also the stiffness of the frame or the way the chain is handled can make your bike a lot slower. Lots of people buy recumbents which arent made with speed in mind and expect them to be faster than racingbikes. Most of the time they are not. As for how much you can ride per day. That is something that is dependent on a lot of variables, for example your normal cruising speed and weather conditions as two of the main factors. When I cycle long distances on an upright cycle my cruising speed is about 27 km/h. When I switch to my recumbent this goes up by about 12 km/hour. What can't be threated lightly either is that most people suffer from back, bottom or wrist pains when cycling long distances on a racing bike. This is eliminated when cycling on a recumbent and thus makes cycling long distances a day much easier. Coming from someone who cycles a lot more km a year on an upright bike than a recumbent, btw.
It touches the tyre. Nothing to worry about, unless you keep mashing away on the pedals. For me personally, the M-Racer is a little bit harder to ride in tight corners than for example a Challenge Hurricane, but the straight line speeds compensates that, and a lot more.

Is the guy dressed in blue on the m-racer, and the other guy on the Carbon High Racer?
Can these be ordered from the United States?

how fast do they go? how much can you ride per day compared to an upright?

I somehow enjoy a masochistic pleasure in getting down low on my upright bike, and only want a recumbent if it is faster. Which are you faster on?
@@SimonWoodburyForget since when is acceleration a type of speed?
@@mitchellsteindler It's not, but it influences how easy it is to get a bike up to speed.
I have CMPCT, super model
Thanks and many goods..
When they turn, does the chain touch the wheel?
Depends on how fast you ride. In slow, tight turns you will have chain rubbing.
