This is likely a bike you will not enjoy for very long as would be the case with any department store clunker! For scarcely three times the price of this Huffy semi-bent, you could get the Cycle Genius CGX Starling that is a real recumbent and is far better than that stamped-steel huff-dog! Take it from me if you will: I work in a full-fledged bike shop here in Silverdale, Washington! The rear derailleur on the Huffy simply will not stay in adjustment for very long due to its inherantly poor construction, but the CGX has an 8-speed cassette with a SRAM 3.0 ESP rear derailleur that will shift reliably over and beyond the Huffy, so, for just a tad more cash, you can have a real entry-level recumbent that will be mechanically sound and that you'll be happy with!
