So a long time lurker has joined the Elite group we have here but you did it all wrong. 2 1/2 years ago you should have got a Mountain bike or a BMX to learn the skills necessary to ride the recumbent you should have got instead of the "Seven"

. Still never mind-You will learn the other skills required on this forum quick enough. Don't know how much training you have done but Pie Ride next saturday. Too late to work to the ultimate of Blueberry but being a condescending lot- we won't put you down if you can only manage apple with Ice cream.
Welcome but pics of the new bike required.You have admitted you got one and no pics posted yet.
