N_C here from Sioux City, Iowa. Wife and I ride Vision R40 recumbents. I used to ride a TREK road bike until I made the switch. Hope I'm welcomed here.

What? A chair on wheels. Come back when you get a real bike.(jk):p

Welcome to our ever growing community. Anyone is welcome here even recunbents. I believe there are a few others that also ride recumbents and every one for the most part gets along although there many different opinions and the occasional heated debate.

Ron, The TREK was a 470 model. A great bike, I had it for about 4 or 5 years before I traded it in for the recumbent. I stopped ridig for a couple of years and gained a lot of weight. Riding hurt my back a lot when I started again. Plus it was time for me to upgrade to a better bike. So to keep riding and not be in pain I went with a recumbent. Bought it last year. Now I'm hooked. Lost some weight, And now I don't know if I'll ever go back to a upright.

Thanks for the welcome.
