Help an old upright get down?
Here's the deal: I'm an old guy, a former hard-core cyclist with a younger wife who's becoming a hard-core cyclist. I was on this site about a year or so ago, asking for advice on bikes for old guys and how to modify my existing road bikes to take account of my aging..... which I got! Now, I'm thinking about going radical.... I can keep up with my wife, barely, but the bike now beats me up so bad (at seventy two years of age) that I'm thinking I need another solution. I read somewhere once (back when the earth was cooling) that recumbents were too fast and therefore banned from racing.... Will a recumbent help me keep up with my wife? With less pain? If it might, what recumbent? How does one buy one? Any help appreciated.....
