The first 'Bent I ever rode was a EZ-1. Then I was bitten by the bug. Stress management recumbents (LBS) Is very close to me (5 miles) and I go by there to drool often. They're gonna' flip out when I tell them the good news. That's where I also got my first taste of the mythical metal Titanium. The good Dr. Ed Charlesworth was kind enough to let me take his Gold Rush Ti out for a quick juant (very nice bike). I'm very excited!
