I'm wondering if FL - MI at 55-60 wouldn't be a bit hard on the bearings and free-hub/freewheel?? 

Also, since now some of us might want to try to figure out your mass, what kind of weight distribution on that?? It looks like a recumbent, so I'm guessing it's not 50/50 (which would put you at over 300# !!)


I'm considering bringing my road bicycle as well... but I'd want to put it inside my car as my only rack is roof-mount which would wreak havoc on my gas mileage. Also gotta get some miles under my bike shoes first, so's I'll be able to keep up!!

As in excessive wear? I haven't noticed anything unusual 
in that regard. Keep in mind that when I ride the bicycle there is in the area 
of maybe 170 lbs. on that rear tire. When I tow it there might be 10 to 15 lbs. 
on the rear tire. I keep speeds below 60 mph - and I don't tow it all that much. 
Really seems to work quite well.

  Nice bike.  The motorcycle doesn't look half 
  bad either.  Serious question, doesn't towing the bicycle at 70 
  mph(right)? reek havoc on  the bicycle 
tire?
