My first day shopping for a recumbent in person in Los Angeles
I had called around and surfed the web but today I went in person to
The Bicycle Work Shop in Santa Monica (Los Angeles) California: http://www.recumbentbikes.info I enjoyed riding the recumbent. My knee began to feel odd. I injured it many years ago falling on it as a skateboarder. My knee didn't hurt it just felt somewhat uncomfortable. I think if I had brought the seat in a little, it would have lessed the sensation. They were charging 749.99 for a Sun recumbent similar to this one: http://www.sunbicycles.com/03/html_0...edster_sx.html and said it only came in blue. I had been hoping for white or blue. I really wanted to get one by Monday and was thinking about getting a used Haluzak for 850 listed he http://losangeles.craigslist.org/bik/87422421.html Oh well, riding the recumbent was sheer joy. I found it odd that a little foldup bike I tried later did not cause any knee discomfort whatsoever. This ends a rather content-less post -- Terrence Brannon, , http://www.livingcosmos.org |

Get the Haluzak! Evidently it's sold. The manager of Bent-Up Bicycles is selling his Bachetta Giro soon... I dont have his asking price or specfic model number yet, but here's the bike: http://bentupcycles.com/site/showite...y&Catal og=39 I really think 800.00 is my limit though as a beginning rider mainly interested in commuting. -Leif -- Terrence Brannon, , http://www.livingcosmos.org |

Mike is right. Try to ride as many variations as you can to get a feel
for what feels best. Dana at Bent Up Cycles is really good at letting people do this. He also has a good selection of bikes so a visit to his store is probably worth considering. Let us know what you get. -Leif |

If you want a twitchy recumbent that does not handle well, then by all means get the Haluzak. I am surprised they are still in business. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Anything less than that and you will not know anything. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
