This in every sense of the word, and no two words about it   b e a u t i f u l  Chinkara recumbent is an attempt at a building of a better, streamlined Flevobike. Both are front- wheel driven, mid- steered, fully- suspended bikes, that require certain talent and dedication to learn how to ride them.
    Unlike other bicycles, upright or recumbent, where a handlebar plays an important role in steering and maintaining balance, the Flevo and the Chinkara are controlled by  minute shifts  in the center of gravity; effectively by counterbalancing the mass of the free- swinging front part with one's feet, by instinctive  shifting of the body in the seat. Assuming that one posseses that instinct  to begin with, of course.
    While it may sound logic and easy in principle, in practice riding either has more to do with flying an airplane, than with sitting astride a traditional, stiff- frame (i.e. fast "vertical reference plane") bike. My opinions on the Flevo are perhaps best explained in this article, which I wrote recently for the HPV mailing list.
