This one is getting my bride back to biking. Once she tried the 'bent she decided
we she give it a whirl. It eliminates many of the constraints that drove her off
of her Mtn. Bike. We're both pretty excited about it.

We enjoy our KHS Tandemania Comp but I am lusting after a RANS Screamer. Stoker is OK with my lusting as long as she remains the stoker. She has no desire for a single 'bent but would be agreeable to being a 'bent stoker. Obstacle is $$$$$. Hmmmmm.........wish the Economic Stimulus Checks were more Stimulating.

Back on Topic: You gotta at least get out of the driveway for it to count. Or, out of the garage if you have a really big garage.

I'd like to have a driveway that's .5 miles long. Or even 1/4 mile for a nice out and back loop.
