My very 1st experience with a recumbent was on a Easy Racers (now Sun) EZ Sport some 5 years ago. At the time I was 55 and had not been on any kind of bike in more than 15 years. I sat on the Sport, relaxed, and pushed off on my stronger foot. I wobbled for about 20 ft and settled in, having a blast for there on. If you've never been on a bent and are looking for that 1st time ride, I strongly suggest you find a Sun dealer and try out a EZ-1 or a Sport. The low bottom bracket makes it really easy to quickly get used to the new style of riding. And you won't need training wheels! After the initial few rides, you may want to try a more agressive style of bike with a higher bottom bracket.
