I rediscovered riding a few years ago. After 40 some years of turning pedals I was pretty much wore out, and thought I was done riding. Then I discovered recumbent bikes, and electric assist about 5 years ago.

I am riding now more then ever. I have a Rans Rocket, Rans Tailwind, and Burley Koosah. I have an Electra Townie with a front hub motor, and a Rans Stratus with a rear hub motor.

If I could only have one bike I would keep the Tailwind, and if I could have two I would keep the Townie also.

Bikes to me are just one of those things that make the world a better place. I am mostly a utility rider. I ride to work and the stores. I ride to friends houses and so on. I also like to go on bike riding vacations. That is what I use the Koosah for. It is a very comfortable but somewhat slow bike. Perfect for eating like a pig and leisurely going down the trails all the rest of the day on a vacation.

Some other things I do that make the world a better place is, I like to play music with a 4 string plectrum banjo. do partner dancing with my girlfriend, and do organic vegetable gardening.

I look forward to getting to know you, and for now happy trails.

Welcome to bike forums...

My first ever message on the bike forum, and from a tall fabulous blonde.

I don't know if this old guy can take much more. I have to go rest for a while, then maybe then do a little pedal pumping.

Thanks for the nice welcome.

Couches just don't do it for me.
