Heavy Recumbent

I saw this on a number of sites. This is a neat recumbent, and it is very adjustable, however it looks like it would be heavy. check it out.

Riding again

After fighting RA this winter and spring. I am back on my bike and it is a great time to ride, it is summer and the flowers are out.

One of the best ways to build a fender is using corrugated plactic sheets. It is cheap and work great on back bike racks. I took the a sheet of the coorugated plactic and cut it to fit under my bike rack on the back and zip tided it to the rack. cut the extra off, and you have a great fender for about under 5 dollars.

Recumentblog a great site.

One of the the great blogs on recumbent is the recumbentblog, which is re starting this is the best on overall recumbent site.

Having problems with your route?

Well here are a few answers:
My commute Sucks is website that sends a message to government on bike route problems, this is a real good way to get issues fixed, and get some funding from them is resolve your issues.
While you are waiting for the your route to address by the goverment (good luck) there is a great site called Map my Ride, this is a great way to find new routes to work and back.

Bike to work week May 11 to 18

http://www.hostelshoppe.com/ reminded me that it is bike to work week, and what better way to do it than on a Recumbent. Because most people commute from 6 to 12 miles to work with average traffic speed of 10 to 15 mph in a car. this can be done easily on a recumbent.

This is a great week to get started on a regular bike or on a recumbent. One of the reasons why I ride because it is a great way to stay in shape. However there are a lot of great reasons to bike to work.
