Great, that makes up for the time spent walking your bent up the other side. Oh, I love downhills on my DF bie, and whilst commuting in the Ozarks I would routinely make it to 45 MPH downhill, and I could actually pedal up that same hill on the way back. Yes, a bent is lower to the ground and would make that 45 MPH easier, but, I can be seen better by people in cars coming up behind me on my DF bike, so
I can comfortably stay in the lane without worrying people will see my tiny flapping flag at high speed, then hitting me from behind.
