Test Road some Recumbents today

I visited our Recumbent Bike Shop, and I sure enjoyed riding some of
these. I have a family of four licensed drivers, and only one car. I
think having a recumbent around, would encourage everybody to ride even
more! The seat is easily adjustable, which will make it nice for
different riders. I'm going to bring the family over, and have them
try it.

I just bought my first 'bent about 2 months ago and won't go back to
riding a df for anything more than a few miles. The recumbent is so much
more comfortable. Be careful about the type of bike you buy, some are
easily ajustable, some are not. One the the most popular one being sold
is the Sun EZ-1, it's very adjustable, handles well, and pretty fast
too. I set my all time speed record on a flat, 26.1mph. And normally
cruise at between 18 and 20.

Ken,
Thanks for the advice. I was looking at the Burley Koosah and the
Burley Jett Creek. The seat is on an adjustable bracket. That was one
of the features I liked. Frequent adjustment shouldn't scratch up the
frame. I also liked the idea that they are made in America.

I test rode a Burley Canto when I was looking for a recumbent. They make
good bikes. Plus they are made right in Oregon. I went with Sun because
it felt good under my butt, plus they were designed by Gardner Martin.
