I started back riding a mtb commuting to work 2 years ago after 35 yrs off a bike. I found myself uncomfortable riding it at speed, feeling very conscious of what would happen if I were to get a front flat or, for whatever reason, go over the handlebars. Then, too, there was the discomfort of the seat, sore shoulders and back from lugging a backpack around...I'd stumbled across the idea of a recumbent bike months earlier, but it took 6 months of riding the mtb before a recumbent came available near me at a great price.
It's only a Sun EZ, but I don't regret getting it and am looking forward to getting whatever next 'bent might come my way.
I like the comfortable seat, I like having saddlebags to carry my c*** around(yea, coulda done that on the mtb, but didn't want to invest any more money into it), I like being able to see where I'm going without straining my neck and that bike is the reason I have commuted 48 times to work so far and traveled over 800 miles, just around town this year. I also appreciate not having any excess anxiety about falling off this bike, the main reason I looked for a new bicycle.
