I offered to check it over for him and take some photos of it, so now it&#8217;s here at my house. As part of this I decided to take it for a ride, as seen above. I&#8217;ve only gone a couple miles on it, but I&#8217;m really not sure what to think of it.<\/p>\n<p>For one, the really long wheelbase makes it very slow to turn, and the small front wheel makes it feel not as stable as I&#8217;d like. While it is very easy to get going and stays upright well, but with any lean outside of a turn it feels a bit twitchy, and as if it would prefer to turn or fall over.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll probably get some more riding in with it while checking it over, but I&#8217;m not sure where I&#8217;ll do this at. Sitting lower to the ground, rim brakes for slower stopping, and overall less control makes me hesitant to take this on public roads, even residential ones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/random_stuff\/P7010707.jpg.html\">Here is a picture of the bike itself<\/a>, if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My coworker Brian is looking to sell his recumbent bicycle, a Sun EZ-Sport CX.
