I figured out that since my wife's biggest problem with bicycling is the tiny saddle, she might like it more if she had a recumbent. Of course, I'd like her to be able to try it first, so I was wondering if anyone knows where we can rent or test ride one? Anything to get her on my side would be wonderful!

That's on the way to the in-law's house. I'll see if I can find it the next time I drive by. Thanks!

Bent up cycles is the shop. That's where I bought my Bacchetta Corsa, drove up from SD to get it. I highly recommend them.

I will also endorse Bentup Cycles, which is where I bought my Bacchetta Corsa. Dana, the owner, is extremely good to work with.

Unemployed at the moment, so no... However that is changing soon. :) Need to start training for the 200k, been off the bike for a month. Plans are the 200k SD Brevet, 3 doubles and a century a month next year. Still need to do a December century, been slacking a tiny bit. :)
