/Upritis Nonbentii/ is a newly recognised condition affecting certain cyclists. The symptoms include: - wrist pain - shoulder pain - neck pain - back pain - saddle sores A number of palliative measures have been produced over the years, including gel gloves and gel saddles, but these have only ever served to mask the symptoms, not cure the problem. New research from the University of Falmouth has shown that a permanent cure can be effected. There are a few mild side effects, such as inane grins and the tendency to utter "rebel yells" when travelling downhill, but those treated in the main report complete satisfaction (except when climbing long hills) and no return of their symptoms. The cure employs /vehiculus humanpower recumbenti/, a naturally- occuring orthotic isolated and refined by a number of craft natural remedy companies. By replacing the traditional upwrong bicycle with one of these devices, and after a short period of adjustment for the growth of new "bent leg muscless", the rider is left with no recurrence of former problems.

How about sending in this letter to the Federal Trade
Commision and have uprights banned as unsafe equipment. Just
got a EZ-1 at the end of March and have rode 1300 miles and
agree with all this.

Say what?!? I.E.Systems resurrected? And the EZ-1 is a
trike?!? New holiday I suppose: July Fools Day :-) I sold my
I.E.Systems last week for $100., then turned around and
bought it for $101. Now I can legally re-sell it if anyone
is interested in that wide, heavy, 63 speed Deluxe.

EZ-1 and EZ-Sport are recumbents, 2 wheels, EZ-3 three is a
trike, my LBS was putting one together Friday night.
easyracers.comeasyracers.com is the designer and reseller,
Sun(?) bicycles is the manufacturer.

While Easy Racers does sell the Sun recumbents, the
distributor is J&B Importers <http://www.jbimporters.com/>.
Almost every bike shop in the US has an account with J&B and
can order any of the Sun bicycles.

OIC. I thought I'd made an inadvertent Python reference.
