Commuting on a Recumbent

Message #6571 of 7002 |

Does anybody else commute on a recumbent? I'm sure enjoying mine. My
ride is 8 miles, with only 2 traffic lights. A lot of the travel is on
open rural road. I've been commuting year round for 18 years, and on a
recumbent for the last year. I do get out the old mountain bike if
there's snow. It handles much better. Here' my ride.

I ride a lightning thunderbolt. I usually find some excuse to wimp out and motor in at least a couple days a week. I find that the 'bent limits my route...	dennisthebald	Oct 8, 2007 9:22 pm

Don't be too jealous, that Bachetta looks like a nice bike too. I test-road quite a few Bachettas at the local Bike Shop. I've found that bikes vary greatly...	Jim Gagnepain oil_free_and...	Oct 9, 2007 9:47 pm
I do. I have a Bacchetta Giro 20. My commute is short, only 3 miles, and hilly. To be honest, for the route I take, my Specialized Hard Rock is better. Too...	Gordon phi3d	Oct 23, 2007 8:04 pm
The Bents are nice for those long rides on the open road. I agree about the bad roads and bad drivers. It's a little easier to maneuver a DF, although...	Jim Gagnepain oil_free_and...	Oct 24, 2007 2:42 am
