Recumbent Pt2 Coming In Hot

Vehicular-cycling the recumbent and the problems that comes with it. Dismount-and-walk isn't mobility-friendly. Shoulder-checking is stiff and is the equivalent of looking back from a recliner sofa instead of a chair.
My friend and I decided to buy a few things from the grocery store nearby, but it turned into an impromptu race as we take different routes to go there. My friend intuitively takes the shortest distance by sidewalk while I go farther out of my way to reach the bike lane.
Doing a full-effort on a recumbent makes work of slightly different leg muscles and I feel some parts of them fatigue quicker than the others. But I'm still blazing fast overall because I really don't want to spend any more time on the road with the cars.
Surprisingly I arrived first even though I have some red lights and stop signs to do, while my friend doesn't get one. Maybe it's the fear factor driving me fast.
