On these V frames, your body attaches as a triangulated connection. The
seat and bars are pretty much level like that when riding it. Think of
a racing b@#&, it's much the same aero position, but not as
flat-backed. I personally like it and think it's natural, whereas
it's not a traditional unicycle position and therefore may seem odd to
someone more used to riding without handles. It's basically for speed
& distance.

So then the angle it is at in that picture is the angle at which you
ride? How does it feel at low speeds, that far back over the wheel?

I second envy, mostly because I'm green with it right now.
