    Thanks for sharing your web site. I finally know what a recumbent bike
    is and what it means to ride bent. I sound stupid enough on this
    Newsgroup without asking more and more ridiculous questions.
    NOW I HAVE KNOWLEDGE. I know how to "get bent".

    LOL I never heard of a recumbent until a year or so ago either!
    Probably lots of people don't know what they are.

    Well I am guilty of the no helmet thing too so I can't really say much about
    that.

    There should be no feeling of guilt involved, any more than feeling
    guilty for not having tattoos, not carrying a cell phone camera, etc.
    They're all fashionable, over-sold and pretty useless.

    Well, if smartass people did not say things like "Get Bent" to the
    unsuspecting, while talking about the "dark side", there would not be a
    problem.

    This is what my 'bent is like

    Well, I say *my* 'bent, as it was a Christmas present to me, but it tends to
    be appropriated by my teenage son a lot of the time ;-)

    A Trice is so nice but for the price!

    (Trikes are very labor intensive to build, and often use custom made parts.)

    That looks like a really great bike to ride. I'd love to try one out
    sometime. I had no idea they existed. And as for your teenage
    son.....What do parents own that their children do not appropriate? I
    never know if I am going to walk out the door and find my car is
    actually in the driveway. Not that I would exchange "Motherhood" for
    ANYTHING!!

    without two nickels to rub together, had three kids. No regrets)

    My goodness. Ya know that elegance and efficiency of form that so many of us
    love about bikes, not much of it in that last link. Those are just scud-ugly.
    Amazing they work as well as they do.

    Yes, I want to see someone go out and ram garbage cans at speed while
    riding a $5,000 upright bicycle. 😉

    I have two tattoos that I had done in another life and now incredibly
    regret. But I don't want to go through the trouble of having them
    removed. Think carefully my friends before you tattoo....unless you use
    the rub offs. They are there forever to remind you of what a jackass
    you were when you had them done.

    As for Cell Phones.....WHO THE HELL CAN LIVE WITHOUT A CELL PHONE.
    That's unheard of. ;-)

    A Helmet will never touch my head. I can't deal with helmet hair.
