Hello, I am a french cyclist and was thinking to buy soon (before next year) a recumbent bike for the first time in my life ! I was looking on bentrideronline...
... Hey Manu, I can just answer yes :) The first recumbent I bought is a flevobike bike for almost the same reason as you do and I'm still very happy with it....
... Yes. While others seek a bench or other seat during a break, I stay on my Flevo Bike. It could be more comfortable if there were most of the year more air...

... I think you are right. There is a floating sensation when hitting higher speeds but as it seems, people who frequently attacks this "limit" are also able...
... And what does that have to do with the Python my father is currently building? ;-) As I wrote in my first mail our first tries with that bike were made...
... Ach so. I misread your post. Sorry. I was to eager to jump on you ;-) ... Good luck! I will build me a 24" python in order to get a faster vehicle. My legs...
I have been a bent bike fan for years now and am looking for my next bike. I like the design of the Flevo-racer and would like to test ride one. Anyone in...
