A man in shape like that needs a lot of PB&J's to stoke his fire, No??
Is that the average size and shape of a recumbant rider?
As always, thanks for sharing all your recumbant expertise
That fellow most likely ate his PBJs at the rest stop.
With all the calories from a PBJ that fellow can walk up any hill with a heavy recumbent. Sugar is good and keeps a fellow peppy.
A lot of recumbent riders are portly, big or chubby in the 180 pound and above range. Too heavy to race like young whipper snappers on the Tour. Big folks will be healthy if they ride and that is OK. I know that a lot of sassy recumbent youngsters who brag about "smoking roadies" and they have have huge tubby pot bellies like me. Those fellows are smoking something and it is not roadies. What the heck we are all getting older with our spare tire full of celluloid.
Thanks for the Kudos. I will keep telling folks the way it is in the recumbent lifestyle.
