Default Bought my First Recumbent!

I bought a used BIKE E recumbent. I've commuted to work on it the last
3 days, and I'm really enjoying it. I know this isn't the latest in
Recumbent technology, but I'll have to wait until the kids get through
college to purchase one of those 4-digit models.

How about a picture? Or should I check your website first before asking so?

And also congratulations for not feeling the need to crosspost any reference
to a recumbent to several other NGs...

I have one picture of the recumbent on my website. I'm not sure how to
post pictures on Google without using the website.

I'm sure he has, as most of us have and we don't get giddy at the sight
or the ride(I worked on and then rode onne...geezzz...never again).

'Bents work for some, most get really worked up over them both pro and
con...but they really answer no question or solve no problem when
compared to a good fitting upright...

To each his own. I've ridden all kinds of bikes, and I think the bents
are a refreshing change.

BTW, my comment was not one of giddishness. I was responding to:

Welcome to the darkside!


The Bike Es are all black in color, and I think that's what Mike was
referring to...

Ding ding ding. Is quoting really that difficult?
