It will reintroduce you to the fun of cycling. Only speed freaks need an upright. The rest of us are better off with recumbents. However, not all recumbents are created equal. Hells Bells, it is even fun to shop for the right recumbent. But but but....Then I will need to join alt.bikes,recumbent to consult with. However, since it is defunct. I have nowhere to go. Andres, I am serious, you are ready for a recumbent! Pain and suffering is the beginning of all wisdom and as a Jewish person (or at least of Jewish heritage) I know that you know that! Now get with it and stop making excuses. It will be the best money you ever spent in your life. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Nothing against recumbents, and fun is where you find it, but I don't "cycle" (my washing machine does), I Ride Bike, which for me involves a lot of tight maneuvers and throwing the thing around, which recumbents just aren't so well suited to. Dan, you are into going fast whether you admit it or not. Most of us don't give a damn about going fast. We cycle for fun and exercise. Any pain at all detracts from the fun and exercise. Recumbents totally eliminate the universal pain associated with cycling. We humans need a proper seat, not a saddle. The main thing I have always had against recumbents is that they are so expensive. But once you get one, you will never look back. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

OT - Why is Mutilation of Infants Allowed?

Not being born Jewish and/or in the US, I have no personal complaint on the matter. Even a stopped clock like Mr. Sherman is sometimes quite correct. Circumcision is an abomination. It is only done because doctors believe it will lessen the chances of venereal disease, but if you are not poking your penis where it doesn't belong, what is there to prevent. What circumcision does is limit sexual pleasure, if that matters to you. Nature does not make many mistakes over the course of several million years of evolution. Whenever I get to thinking that Jews are smart, I realize all over again that they are just as stupid as any of the rest of us. Hey, welcome to the club! Ed Dolan occasionally gets things right. As a Jew I agree. Circumcision is genital mutilation and should be banned. |

Why Have a Sore Posterior?

It is mainly his attempts at wit that cross him up. When and if he attempts to be serious he is almost as smart as Ed Dolan the Great. But even so he never approaches Ed Dolan's inimitable cussedness. I reign supreme in that domain. I attribute it all to my Irish ancestry. Poor Tom Sherman only has his Danish ancestry to fall back on. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

After a couple of miserable days on a BikeE, I was more than ready to throw the thing around. Like out in the street in front of an oncoming bus. Chalo, the BikeE was one of the worst recumbents I ever rode in my life. The seat was a disaster. I could only ride it for about 5 minutes. Most recumbents today are a great improvement on that miserable bike. But even so, you have to shop for the recumbent that will be comfortable for you. If it is not 100% comfortable, then flee from it as you would the Devil. The whole point of a recumbent is comfort. Everything else is secondary. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

It will be the best money you ever spent in your life. I'll probably give one a try eventually. However, as the dweeb that I am (and believe me, I really do recognize my idiocy), I am still into riding hard, and going fast (well, not really that fast). I also ride with friends that like to go fast too. We form this stupid pacelines and each one of us takes turns until we are about to puke and then we switch. We also dress in idiotic garb that makes us look like morons despite their usefulness. I am addicted to this. At some point I may become addicted to riding sitting down or laying down. I'm not there yet. Yes, it takes some time before you can come to a decision about it. The most wonderful thing about recumbents is that you can ride them into your old age. And such bicycles will keep you younger and healthier than you would otherwise be. Most folks sooner or later give up on uprights. It is just a matter or time. Eventually your body says to hell with it. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
