[QUOTE=Orcish]I have the same problem. I rode all the time growing up, even had a LeTour and Viscount at one time. Got away from it after high school - college. After I found out I was diabetic, bought a cross trainer and rode it for a while, but couldn't stick with it. I had a sudden realization the other day, that I had broken my tailbone about 25 years ago, and that was having a big affect on my ability to ride. So I am looking into recumbents, but am wondering about the bike/ trike/ tadpole question. I won't be going for any speed, at least until I loose some tonnage. Mostly back and forth to work, about a mile mile and a half, and around town. Any suggestions appreciated.


Orcish[/QUOTE/] I would suggest you get yourself a trike with a reclined seatposition as this position is the most comfortable when it comes to riding long trips without risking the discomfort of a sore buttock. Furthermore you are always in absolute control of the vehicle even in steep hills.
