Anyway, one must work through the Kubler-Ross steps if you buy a recumbent:
Denial - I wouldn't be better off riding one of those monsters.
Anger - I know plenty of old goats with bad backs and balance problems, and those buttholes still ride their Cervelos.
Bargaining - OK, I might get a bent, but only if PCad gets one first.
Depression - So I looked at recumbents at the LBS and Holy Crap are they ugly.
Acceptance - How many miles does it take to get my bent legs (answer - about 2500)?
Fear not. If you're lucky you might go into remission. My mileage this week was 50% bent and 50% real bike.
LOL!
No, I genuinely am curious; I'd like to try one- just because they're different and look like they might be interesting. Took me about 2500 to get my regular-bicycle legs...... [Probably'd take longer with a bent, as it's nothing but hills, here.]
Are there shops up there in Loovul that sell 'em? That'd probably be the closest place where I'd be able to test-ride one.
Oh, and ya forgot the pipe! [I already have the beard]
