'bent forum
Just a quick announcement that another cycling forum (that's the name
of it) has a board dedicated to The Dark Side, if anyone's interested. Pretty empty at the moment, but I'm a glass half full kinda guy: means there's lots of room to grow. /plug ends --- Sam http://www.bikereader.com/forum/index.php |

We ARBRers purport to be an elite mob but if that were true then we'd be more hypocritical than elite, we say we are the few whilst bemoaning the lack of us and forever posting about some mainstream company that may or has built a run of recumbents, we say that we are only about recumbents but readily run to the sight of a folder or small-wheeled beast. In that regard I must also thank you as I noticed the forum for Folders which had an interesting thread about my Airimal. I won't pass any judgement of those who ride our bikes and trikes, as to the kind of people we are. It makes for interesting thoughts while out riding but counts for little. In the real world motorists think the same of all cyclists, on recumbent or not. DD Campaigning for ARBR to replace the troll with the trollope. (Ed in a fancy dress?) |

I won't pass any judgement of those who ride our bikes and trikes, as to the kind of people we are. It makes for interesting thoughts while out riding but counts for little. In the real world motorists think the same of all cyclists, on recumbent or not. I believe there are very few us of us recumbent cyclists who have never ridden an upright. In fact, by far the majority of us come to recumbents after having spent many years riding uprights. Therefore, we know whereof we speak. On the other hand, many if not most upright cyclists have never ridden a recumbent and therefore they know not whereof they speak. And so it is safe to say that we recumbent cyclists are in an altogether better position to regard ourselves as superior to the run of the mill cyclist. The fact is that we are an elite, or at the least I surely am! Campaigning for ARBR to replace the troll with the trollope. (Ed in a fancy dress?) We need only concern ourselves with criminal trolls. Other kinds of trolls do no harm and enliven up the place. After all, we do not want to die of boredom and find ourselves in Hell with all the other dull types there.

Saddles are for upright bikes and seats are for recumbent bikes. I leave it to any intelligent person as to which is the more appropriate base on which to plant ourselves. I have noted lots of easy chairs in the homes of my acquaintances, but I have never noted any saddles in their homes. Further, I note that all cars have seats in them and not saddles. However, motorcycles, like upright bikes, have saddles and not seats, and they can get quite painful after a few hours regardless of how much they are padded. No, we humans require seats that we can lean back in and get some of the pressure off of our sit bones. Saddles are for horses and cowboys. Thus spake Mr. Ed. Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota |
