57 yr old Male. Just moved to Spokane from Sacratomato,CA (couldn't take the traffic & $$$ anymore. Anyway I grew up in Davis, CA, home of UC Davis, whom some folks refer to as the Bicycle Capitol of the World (I don't :-). But in Davis many kids learn to ride a bike almost before they walk (really). So I've ridden all kinds of bikes in my years in Davis, CA, Eureka CA, Tulsa, OK. Then back in Sacramento, CA I went to Crusier style motorcycles for a good number of years.
In 1989 I broke my back (no not on the motorcycle :-) and pretty much gave up on two wheel transportation of any type because of the pain. Then 3 months ago, after moving to Spokane I discovered the world of recumbents (I live about 2 blocks from the Centennial Trail) and my love for cycling re-ignighted. I've since done allot of research on "bents" and have found a great Burley dealership here.
My biggest battle now is weather to purchase a new Limbo or a new Canto, as I have to always think interms of my back & my pocketbook (being on a fixed income).
Love Spokane & So Glad I Found This Site. Hope I can find some Recumbent addicts here in Spokane :D
