It's great to have a bike that's used for fun rides and not always for pushing or speed or something else, so I think it's great that you're using this as a way to just enjoy what's around. <br /><br />Sometimes I forget that not everyone is surrounded by mountains...

I think that if I were riding this with substantial traffic I would miss being up higher. We’re mostly on rail trails and out on country roads, so it doesn’t matter much. Being down closer to the ground lets me notice different things about the ride. Also, my face is pointed up instead of down and it simply takes less skill to operate, which Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329731743529266746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-86396415378146032442018-08-03T08:23:24.710-06:002018-08-03T08:23:24.710-06:00I didn’t have any adjustment period at all, though...I didn’t have any adjustment period at all, though I’ve heard that others do. This trike is my “just for fun” ride. I use it for when Matt and I go out together, a couple of times a week. We chat and look around and don’t even try to go fast. It has been great to have a different position.

I’ve been curious about titanium too, but don’t see a Ti bike in my future. <br /><br />By the way the recumbent trike is a ton of fun! I ended up with a Greenspeed GT 2, which was one of the only frames that could fit my short legs. I put 100 Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329731743529266746noreply@blogger.com
