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".
All Good Things,
Maggie


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!!
All Good Things,
Maggie (Glad I was very young and very foolish, got married, and
without two nickels to rub together, had three kids. No regrets)

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

Ken,

Where are the pictures of your homebuilt recumbent?

Just had to ask! And you shall receive: http://kcm-home.tripod.com/id14.html
For anyone who is interested.

You have strong competition for the world's ugliest bicycle.

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.

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.

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.

All Good Things
