The Recumbents, finally get to come out and PLAY!!

Today, we finally got the weather, the ice on the roads, ect. to cooperate and we got our new Recumbent Bikes out for a ride! Nothing long as it was still a chilly, breezy day but Jo finally got to the shop and got her R-bike.  After a few rounds in the parking lot we took off on a easy ride just to get more in tune with the differences of riding a recumbent and standard upright bicycle. These R-bikes are , laid back, smell the roses machines, the BEST thing is that you sit like in a recliner so you get to "see" things nomally, instead of  "always having to look UP" when riding a upright bicycle.

We cruised thru several paved trails and back streets of the city, finally stopping at a coffee shop, for "LEMON CAKE" to die for, LOL. Then it started to get windy and the cloud cover came in so we headed home. Jo and I think these "recumbents" are our future in bicycling, the next one up, might be a "recumbent tandem" (bicycle built for two)!!

Take care, Ride Safe, have FUN!
