Thread necro - just got my TSR-2. It requires absolute concentration to ride, though I think that'll reduce with time - you have to backpedal just enough to shift the hub gear, but not too much or you'll lock the back wheel up as I managed to do a couple of times yesterday (it's pretty sharp - enough to skid). I also nearly threw myself over the bars, because it does a sufficiently good job of feeling like it has big wheels, I forgot about the diddy wheelbase and pretty upright steering geometry and threw my torso forward as I pushed into the pedals. I won't do that again....
