Fused Disk in my Back and looking for a comfortable Ride.....why Cat   Message List

Re: [TeamCatrike] Fused Disk in my Back and looking for a comfortable Ride.....why CatStike

My favorite anecdote about recumbent back comfort in general is the time a friend of mine went down (two-wheeler- Rans Rocket, I believe) at 30 mph crossing a muddy, wet wooden bridge at the bottom of a hill  and cracked one of the lower vertebrae.  Somebody helped him get unclipped and he got back on and rode 30 miles back to his car.  He had real trouble driving, though...... and limped around for months.
I myself will occasionally strain my back and feel better after riding....
Don't know if any of this applies to a fused disk situation....

Hi all,

I have my lower disk fused in my back and was wondering how comfortable these bikes are compared to other manufactures. I'm also 6'1", long legs. I've never ridden a recumbent bike but they look really comfortable. The only bike I've ridden is mountain bikes and racing bikes but that was all prior to back surgery 10 years ago. Now, it's only a Harley. I do own a Recumbent Stationary Lemond bike for the house. So, I am use to the riding position! Any suggestions are truly appreciated.

Regards,

David
