Any Recumbent riders out there ? I have a Catrike 700c. Absolutely the most comfortable ride. Its like exercising in a lawn chair.:)

    No, but would absolutely love a 'Sinner Mango Sport'

    The aerodynamics make velomobiles fast and efficient. Heavy and expensive also.

    No I looked at one but I could not get my body down that low. I had to get a tricycle instead as balance is an issue for me as well. That Recumbent bike looks so comfortable I bet you can ride for hours at a time. Got my tricycle April 4 and love it, but can only do about 3 miles in 45 minutes at this time due to other physical difficulties. I did 33 miles last month and am shooting for 40 this month. Hope I make it, as I love to see progress. Happy Biking.

    Definitely comfortable. No rear end or wrist problems. Virtually impossible to do an endo. Drawbacks are lower visibility to cars, I do have a flag on it and Big Dogs are right at face level. I carry pepper spray now. I did a metric century last year, planning on the full century this summer. I average 13 - 16 mph.
