If you could only have one bike...

I now have a 99 Stratus and an 03 Strada. I can commute and tour on
the Stratus. I can ride hard and fast on the Strada. By adding a
Cannondale, I could add off road riding to the list. Yet if I could
only have one recumbent, what bike would I own? I am not sure....
Any thoughts?

For me my Giro comes closest to my 'do all, be everything' bike. It is great for touring,
commuting and smoking a few roadies now and then. My latest challenge is matching the posted 30
mph speed limit on my loaded commute home.

The Lightning Voyager has done all of the above and more. It is a better climber than the Giro
and it fits into a suitcase for those international tours. As a durable bike though, the
Voyager requires more attention than the Giro.

For me it would be my Vision R64 Saber. It's very fast and the riding
position is not that extreme.

I'm a firm believer that if you can only have one bike, make it a trike.

Simple, my Bacchetta Aero.... The best all around bike I've ever
owned. Comfortable, fast and easily transportable.

I did with my Strada when I flew to Hawaii and back. Boxed the bike in
a large frame MTB box, and put the seat in my check-in dufflebag.

That's the only problem I have with my GRR. Its very hard to find a box
big enough for that long frame.
