I still work so my rides over the last five years consist of weekends (sometimes four days) and up to two weeks in the summers (~1,000 miles each). After many years racing road bikes and mountain biking, I can say recumbents are the way to go and nothing compares with the HPVelotechnik Street Machine GTe! Comfort, reliability, and just pure fun! I love mine.

<p>The Streetmachine is the third recumbent I have ridden over 10K miles and is by far the most reliable and comfortable. The features like full suspension are well developed and functional. The mesh seat headrest is also very durable and comfortable with well designed mounting to permit easy adjustment for support.</p><p>The cargo provisions with under seat and rear rack pannier mounts maximizes touring capability and the chain tubes allows riding without contact with chain lube.</p>
