I have decided to ride more often in the hilly areas of Dunedin. The Quest does a good job of climbing hills as long as you are not in a hurry. I have discovered that avoiding hills will limit places you can go and they are well worth the extra effort. Today's ride was along the top of the peninsula, to Aramoana, and I was able to get some nice shots of the bay along the way. People slow right down and often stop when they see the velomobile. They will often offer to take pictures of me in the Quest. The other advantage, of course in hill climbing, is hill descending! The Quest is rock solid on descents so its tempting to just tuck in and enjoy the aerodynamics of the machine.
