I have a weak lower back, and always had back aches/pain riding diamond
frames. I have had several recumbents, ...long wheel base Rans V2, mid-wheel
base Ran Tailwind, and still own a short wheel base Gecko (similar to Rans
Rocket, and the first recumbent I bought in '98), and now a Catrike
Expedition. ALL have been very pleasant for my back.

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

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
