As to "very light weight", I have no idea what a 'newbie' considers so. My (Green Gear Bike Friday) DoubleDay folding tandem recumbent is in the fifty pound class. It is my impression that weight conciousness is driven by the eXtreme(tm) marketeers/media, that is, by those with nothing but 'extreme' to sell. My thirty-five pound class recumbent single bike, a Ryan design Vanguard built by Longbikes, has more than 35,000 miles of pleasure under its wheels. YMMV.

I am a newbie here and know practically nothing about bikes. Can anyone advise if there is a recumbent (sp?) bike that is very lightweight and easy to disassemble/reassemble for shipping?
I would like to find something on the used market. What are the probabilities I would be able to do so and where would be some good places to look for one?
Do you have a web page or pictures of any of the model you mention? Price? Thanks.
I wonder if Doug "right wing" Huffman will answer to someone using "[email hidden]" as an email address?
Since the link to the Green Gear has already been posted, I will post a like to the Longbikes Slipstream, the evolutionary successor to the Ryan/Longbikes Vanguard: <http://www.tandembike.com/Slipstream.html>.
