Ed,
I just had to post your jpeg. We've heard all about your
slow riding and smell the roses mentality. Now we understand
WHY you choose to spend so much time pounding the keyboard.
You really can't blame the Minnesota weather and winds for
not riding, look at yourself!

the Grim Reaper at bay.

I think I once rode with that guy on a week long tour in
Wisconsin, the land of the cyclists with the big bellies.
The truth is that very many recumbent cyclists are
overweight and have big bellies. That is why the recumbent
manufacturers make their bikes able to withstand up to 300
pound riders.
I have been a string bean all my life, but in the past year
I have actually acquired a bit of a belly myself. Those of
you who do not think it can ever happen to you, take heed
and mark my words. If it could happen to me, that means it
can happen to anyone. All it takes is getting older and
slowing down and the inevitable will happen. Another thing
to remember too is that pride goeth before a fall. So those
of you who are still fit and trim, enjoy it while you can
because your days are numbered.

Damn right, Joe. We know each other and the rider who is one
hell of a good guy and advocate for recumbent cycling.
There's no accounting for bad taste.

Rod, how long have you had your Strada and how do you like
it.? I was just looking for information on the web about
it.... sounds like a good bent without much negative press..

Hi Arne.. I've had my Strada since October. I just
turned 2000 miles on it. I can't say enough good things
about the way it handles,accelerates and fits in the
back of my pickup.
There's not a lot about it that's stock equipment but I have
not had a problem that I haven't caused myself. This is my
4th bent and I loved my V2 and Challenge Wizard but I don't
see going back to either one.
There's a lot of great bikes out there. But I'll take
mine. I hope there's a Bacchetta dealer near you. At least
for me, once you get used to the closed in handlebars,
it's all good.
