Hi from luvabluzer in the Chicago area.
The ID breaks down to loveable loser in case you can't make it out. I've been riding bent for four seasons now. My first bent was a Liner CLW USS. Lots of fun to ride but alas not very fast. Went to a Rans V2 after one season on the Linear looking for more speed. The V2 did deliver on the speed and the LWB is a kick to ride but climbing always left me eating roadies dust. So, in the search for a better climbing ride I have gone to the new Volae Club from the Hostel Shoppe. I took it out on my first decent ride today (53 miles) with the bike club I ride with, I was the only recumbent, and I must say I was very pleased with the way the bike performed. While I still fall back on the climbs, I don't think there is a recumbent that can climb with a DF, I didn't fall back as much as on the V2, and on the flats and down hills the Volae soared.:D
So if your in the Chicago area drop me a line.
