Hi, Folks!

While I've yet to be banded, I thought I'd check out the biking forum.

I see a lot of talk about sore butts yet nothing about the benefits of recumbent bikes! A recumbent will result in your butt no longer being a topic of conversation!

Mine is like a recliner with pedals!

Cheers...Larry

Actually its Bruce Willis we have....Demi doesn't like it here anymore!!!

[areellady 1]

Who's of course your an oldie...not as old as J, but old as well.

[areellady 1]

Larry, nice to see you on here!! We have another recumbent biker on here as well.

Do you hear it?? It's the countdown timer until my post-surgery appt. on Friday am, when I can get cleared to get back on my bike. Whoooeeee!!

I started riding on a "hybrid". No...not like a Toyota Prius, :thumbup: this was a Trek that was supposed by be a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike. It weighed about 7,000 pounds and was indestructable. It was great when I was always riding with a toddler or preschooler in a set behind me. It was like a semi truck - hard getting up the hills, but ohhhhh the momentum on the downhills. In fact, my daughter (now 22) used to say "go for the mo, mom!" when she was about 3.

Then I died and went to heaven. OK..ok...so I didn't really die but getting my Cannondale road bike was a lot like heaven. I remember the first time I got on it and pedalled. It was like swimming, no pushing the weight of the bicycle, I felt positively bouyant. My cycling buddy called it my "nerf bike" since it's so light. I love it!

So, I guess my rambling recollections are a roundabout way of saying that what bike works for you evolves over time. It really doesn't matter - what matters is the joy of the road. Get out there and ride!

By the way, HP, great jersey! And you have a PURPLE bike?! Double sweet!

For those debating what is between Chicago and Seattle, I have to speak up for pigs to go with the corn. After riding RAGBRAI (the cross-Iowa ride) a couple of times, I can say with absolute confidence that it smelled like Iowa was predominantly made up of pig farms!

Born in Nebraska, I also have to mention that fine football also comes out of that region. Many a solid defensive player is "corn fed". Unfortunately, there is also a bumper crop of grasshoppers, flooding, tornadoes, republicans, and snow (depending on the time of year).
