Re: Commuting on a Recumbent

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 many hills, and
bad roads and bad drivers. I use the Giro 20 mostly for longer
weekend rides.

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

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
