Why a Recumbent?
With the recumbent
people are discovering that their bicycle does not have to cause them pain. In
fact they can be ridden for hours wand miles without ailments such as sore butt,
stiff neck, aching shoulders or numb hands that afflict the conventional bicycle
rider. Instead the recumbent rider experiences far great comfort, and a better
view of the world. And no, they are not dangerous. In fact the lower center of
gravity and greater proximity to the ground means that if you crash on one, your
feet will absorb most of the shock instead of your head. Because more of your
weight is over the rear wheel, recumbents also stop faster. Cars see you better
to, because the biggest part of your body is in the car driver's field of vision
and you do not blend in with pedestrians, jogers, or conventional bicyclists.
Although we usually have a good selection of recumbents in
stock we can order any model RANS, LIGHTNING or SUN recumbent bike and have it assembled and
ready to roll likely within a week or two. Please click on the
model/pictures below for specs.
