adob,
I live pretty close by, near 158th street and Cornell Road. Maybe we can get together some time. I mostly ride a Rans Stratus recumbant, but now am on my Trek 1420 as I've completely worn out the front rim of the Stratus, and my son is rebuilding the wheel with a new rim. My commute is only 4-5 miles, which I do 4 days a week. I ride out to Evergreen Parkway, where I work.
