I really would like to ride a recumbent bicycle. I've only seen one,
ever, in my life. It was red, and went by so fast I didn't really get a good look at it until I found one like it on the www. I priced a few, and can't figure out why they're soo expensive, even used ones with dry noisey crank bearings or worn out sprockets are expensive to purchase. Is it because they're all hand made? I don't know. But I'll keep looking. |

What I should do is put a "bug" in the ear of their sales/marketing department and see if they can't start offering more than bmx and mountain bicycles. |

You really have to do your research on recumbents before you make your choice. There's some many different styles and types of them. Riding one is a learning curve. Once you have all that there's nothing like it! |
