pauledell Posted April 5, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2011 Stuart, Any lower and this would make a great mechanic's creeper. It would make it now except for the large bicycle tires. An interesting shot of a unique subject. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardvanle Posted April 5, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2011 There's a guy in my neighborhood who has one of these recumbent bikes. The other day I saw an SUV almost flatten him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted April 5, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2011 The one real downside of the Recumbent Cycle, the Lotus 7 and similar forms of transport is the sheer risk of not being seen and getting turned into ad Hoc tyre chains by a larger vehicle. Here in Somerset, the thrill seekers simply ride bikes in black hoodies without any lights... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timd. Posted April 5, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 5, 2011 actually it's not a recumbent bike, but a handbike. using a conventional bicycle is usually not an option if the legs can't do the work. top marathon times are a little bit over 1 hour. can you do that on your bikes? i can't.

stuny Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted April 6, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Karl-Albert, Rona|d, Paul, Richard, Robert & Tim - Thank you for your comments (and Robert, very funny). I did worry for her safety and hoped she'd just ride in Central Park. About an hour later we passed a man with a similar hand-powered bike not three blocks from here. He didn't have any flags, but he was dressed as though on the Tour de France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
