haven't rode my fixed since I bought this. It's seriously that fun. Gears can be good ...

What size front ring is that? Does the pic make it look big? Or is it really huge. How do you get up hills with that? I bet you can really fly on the flatland.

notice the small wheels...

where's the AARP bumper sticker?

Oh man, I was thinking the same thing..











but that looks kinda fun to ride

hahaha old people do ride more recumbants...

but i bet that thing is a blast. i tried to ride my dad's but it's soooo hard to get going on. i've never had to balance on a chair before!

since you obviously cant use the messenger bag anymore, you should trade it in for a back massager powered by a dyno hub

BRILLIANT!

looks pretty intense,
i, however, never plan on giving up my fixed gear for a recumbent of any type

Bahaha...Sorry I could never see my self riding a recumbent. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wRlPgcE3w7U

But they are doing tricks too...so you never know.
What does it feel like riding beside a flat bed truck? can you go under it?

that might have been the most boring video i have ever watched on youtube

Seriously. GTFO of the park jackass.

60T up front ... I've done about 30 on a dead flat without wind. It's got a smaller ring behind that big one and hills aren't a problem.

I'm 44 ... old as dirt to most of you I'm sure. That old man's bike will leave your ass behind me though,
heh, heh ...

Heh! Haven't QUIT riding fixed ... just haven't rode mine for awhile ...

a couple of days ago in a&s there was speculation that recumbant was going to be "the new fixie".

sadly, i put my money on tandems.

No kidding. World's nicest skateboarders.

Recumbants are badass. Someday, I'll own one.

Challenge and Barcchetta have some of the coolest recumbents. If I would had money I would probably waste it on a couple recumbents.

I think you're right about tandems. Down in New Orleans, we had one at our last alleycat and I have some friends who just welded one up instead of making a tall bike. Tandems could definitely become popular. Plus, as the tandem riders at our last alleycat demonstrated, they can do twice as many asinine tricks as a single rider.

To the OP, why'd you buy the recumbent? It would seem to have very different utility from a fixed. I'm a big fan of recumbents but I just can't see anyone weaving through traffic, locking their bike in front of shady bars and such. Also, what's with the strange padding on the seat? Is that stock? Again, great bike. Someday I'll ride a Lightning F-40 and I'll be so damn fast I wont care about being a Fred.

the kids riding scooters are almost as cool as the dude in the recumbant

Is this a joke?

I hear that from everybody that buys a recumbent but only once have I actually seen a recumbent Not on the MUP trail. And that was a former roadie who now rides a trike recumbent because he got hit by a car on his bike and lost the use of his left arm.

When do you get the fairing?

I've seen a few on the road in Toronto. Every time I see one it makes me nervous as hell. Just the idea of being that low to the ground in traffic... I think it takes serious balls to ride one on the road.

this is the only way to go if your going recumbent.







the ultimate skid machine!
