I had this picture taken at my gym, so I could show how I have my handlebars set up on the Lightning P 38. In this configuration, my hands rest on the handlebars, they are not tensed on them creating unnecessary shoulder strain.

This kind of comfort is made possible by the tilt steering accessory option at Lightning Cycle Dynamics…

btw: Running the bars this way somewhat equivocates the under-the-seat steering I enjoy on the Via Recumbent Bicycle

btw2: That is my gym bag on top of the aerodynamic panniers that Lightning also makes. I seem not to be slowed down when I add weight to them……
