In your search for a recumbent be sure to test ride a long wheel base (LWB) model. I started with a Easy Sport AX, thinking if I really liked it, I could step up to a Tour Easy later. The Easy Sport seat is a few inches higher than the Tour Easy which makes it more comfortable for my old guy self. It also makes it real easy to step off the bike when it's moving. This has saved by bacon twice. bk
