Suffered is a good word. I tried to pull/launch in the areas where I normally move to the front, but having to actually work going downhill sucks, especially on legs that felt they had no idea what they were supposed to do.
It looks like I either need to sell my DF collection, or start riding them more often.
I try and get out on my road bike once and a while hoping to get a better workout. My big problem with going down hill on the road bike is how tipped over forward I am compared to on the recumbent. Going down really steep hills gets pretty scary face first!
Bar ends or Bar ends mounted on thumbies is almost a must for me, or brifters I still kinda like my brifters better. All the bikes I look at for sale I have to add that cost in.
